The yield gap between organic and conventional production varies from crop to crop due to different crop-specific factors. While cereals and tubers mainly suffer from nutrient availability (basically nitrogen deficiency), legumes are difficult to be managed because of weeds and diseases. Insect pests are particularly important in oil crops. Each crop group shows different susceptibility to the various yield-limiting factors. Hence, agricultural practices such as variety selection and crop rotation design have a major impact on crop yield and quality.. Chris Reberg-Horton. Tommy Carter. Major Goodman. Tom . Isleib.

End. Previous. Next. Introduction . Weed . management is an important component of INM in rice. Weeds compete with the rice plants for space, water, light, nutrients and other resources. Uncontrolled weeds reduce growth and yield of rice substantially besides depleting the soil nutrients. . Weeds are best controlled within the first several weeks after a crop is planted. Herbicides are more effective against smaller weeds. Smaller weeds are less competitive than larger weeds. Maximize profit. Prof John H. . Nderitu. University of Nairobi/FAO Consultant.
