Relative Contribution Of Physical Interference And Allelopathy To Weed Suppression By Winter Annual Cover Crop Mixtures, Alyssa D. Travlos Dec 2018

Relative Contribution Of Physical Interference And Allelopathy To Weed Suppression By Winter Annual Cover Crop Mixtures, Alyssa D. Travlos

MSU Graduate Theses

Cover cropping systems are widely used in crop production systems to prevent erosion, improve soil health, and suppress weeds. Common cover cropping systems include combinations of cereal rye (Secale cereale L.), Brassica species, legumes, and other winter annual species. Three cover crop mixtures (cereal rye alone, cereal rye plus winter pea, and cereal rye plus winter pea plus radish) were applied using three methods (fresh residue, dried leached residue, and leachate) to common waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus var. rudis) and large crabgrass [Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.]. The experiment was conducted once in a greenhouse and once in a …

Seven half-day regional listening sessions were held between December 2016 and April 2017 with groups of diverse stakeholders on the issues and potential solutions for herbicide-resistance management. The objective of the listening sessions was to connect with stakeholders and hear their challenges and recommendations for addressing herbicide resistance. The coordinating team hired Strategic Conservation Solutions, LLC, to facilitate all the sessions. They and the coordinating team used in-person meetings, teleconferences, and email to communicate and coordinate the activities leading up to each regional listening session. The agenda was the same across all sessions and included small-group discussions followed by reporting …


Dicamba-Tolerant Volunteer Soybean, Palmer Amaranth, And Green Foxtail Control In Irrigated Field Corn, R. S. Currie, P. W. Geier Jan 2018

Dicamba-Tolerant Volunteer Soybean, Palmer Amaranth, And Green Foxtail Control In Irrigated Field Corn, R. S. Currie, P. W. Geier

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Dicamba-tolerant soybean control was best when Armezon (topramezone) or Armezon Pro (topramezone + dimethenamid) was applied POST with atrazine and glyphosate, and when Status (dicamba + diflufenzopyr), atrazine, and glyphosate were applied POST. These treatments, along with PRE treatments of Armezon Pro and atrazine, completely controlled soybean. Similarly, control of Palmer amaranth and green foxtail was generally best with Armezon Pro and atrazine applied PRE or any herbicide combination applied POST. Corn receiving PRE treatments yielded 41 to 120 bu/a more grain than the weedy checks, whereas corn treated POST yielded 117 to 145 bu/a more grain than the untreated …


Comparison Of Soil-Applied And Postemergence Herbicides With Multiple Sites Of Herbicidal Activity On Two Populations Of Herbicide-Resistant Palmer Amaranth In Kentucky, Nicholas J. Fleitz Jan 2018

Comparison Of Soil-Applied And Postemergence Herbicides With Multiple Sites Of Herbicidal Activity On Two Populations Of Herbicide-Resistant Palmer Amaranth In Kentucky, Nicholas J. Fleitz

Theses and Dissertations--Plant and Soil Sciences

With the introduction of herbicide resistant Palmer amaranth into Kentucky during the past 10 years there has been an increasing concern for effective control measures in grain production. Field trials were performed in 2016 and 2017 near Barlow and Paris, KY to determine efficacy of chemical control programs targeting herbicide resistant Palmer amaranth. Percent visual control, effects on plant density and plant height were measured in 2016 to determine treatment effectiveness. Treatments containing four different sites of herbicide activity achieved an average of 98% control. Treatments containing only 3, 2 or 1 site of activity only achieved 64%, 45% and …
