The objective of this research was to compare various novel herbicides for efficacy in fallow. An experiment compared residual herbicides for preemergence weed control in fallow. While most herbicides provided good kochia control early on, only the treatments containing Alite 27 (isoxaflutole) controlled kochia 90% or more by 50 days after treatment. Similarly, most herbicides controlled Russian thistle 83% or more early. However, Russian thistle control declined such that only the treatments containing Alite 27 provided as much as 74% control later in the season.

In search of techniques to reduce irrigation water use in the Ogallala Aquifer region, several deficit irrigation techniques were evaluated in corn and cotton production. Several iterations of deficit irrigation (based on ET), including partial root-zone deficit (PRD) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) treatments, were implemented in the 2021 and 2022 summer season. Corn and cotton did respond to the different deficit irrigation treatments. Significant yield advantages were observed in fixed PRD on both crops while RDI also showed some yield advantage for corn.
