Experimental dataset of sugarcane-cover crop intercropping trials to control weeds in Reunion Island.

ABSTRACT: Agroecological studies on sugarcane intercropping commonly generate complex datasets. A generic database (AEGIS - Agro-Ecological Global Information System) has been developed to facilitate the use of these datasets. The data described in this paper includes data from 8 experiments carried out on Reunion Island from 2012 to 2021 under three soil and climatic conditions to assess the capacity of cover crops in the sugarcane inter-row to control weed growth. Each experiment consisted of the comparison of three treatments in the inter-row: i) sugarcane with chemical weeding, ii) sugarcane with a cover crop sowed in the inter-row, and iii) sugarcane with spontaneous weed flora in the inter-row. The datasets contain data for sugarcane and cover crop observations (e.g., yield), weed flora, inclu
