Title: Growth and yield of irrigated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) as affected by weed association.
Abstract: (...) In these trials, weed infestation for 6 weeks after transplanting and later significantly depressed crop vigour in 1987 as compared with the crop kept weed free throughout its growth. Weed associations after 3 weeks after transplanting till harvest reduced tomato fruit yield compared with the crop kept weed free for the corresponding periods. The critical period of weed competition was observed to be at 6 weeks after transplanting. Uncontrolled weed association till harvest resulted in 51.7% and 63% losses in 1987 and 1988, respectively, in potential tomato fruit yield compared with weed free period till harvest
