For treatments with chemical fertilisation <strong>and</strong> weed control with herbicide, the average culm diameter was of 3<br />

cm <strong>and</strong> average culm length of 6 m, with increments for both variables being considerably higher than with<br />

other treatments (Figures 9 <strong>and</strong> 10).<br />
