Control Of Individual Honey Locust Trees In Grazed Pasture, K. R. Harmoney
Control Of Individual Honey Locust Trees In Grazed Pasture, K. R. Harmoney
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) is a deciduous tree that produces large brown seed pods and thorny appendages, and is present throughout most of the US. The pods are highly nutritious for livestock and wildlife, and are easily spread by animals in dung pats. Honey locust is typically found in greatest concentrations in the central U.S. in the same general range as historical tallgrass prairie. Fire suppression and introduction of honey locust into shelter belts has allowed honey locust to increase into more arid regions associated with mixed grass prairie. When cut, honey locust is capable of producing abundant …
Old World Bluestem Seedling Emergence And Vegetative Cover Following Glyphosate Treatment, K. R. Harmoney
Old World Bluestem Seedling Emergence And Vegetative Cover Following Glyphosate Treatment, K. R. Harmoney
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Old world bluestems (OWB) are perennial warm-season grasses introduced into the U.S. from parts of Asia, eastern Europe, Africa, and Australia. The two most common old world bluestem species found in Kansas are yellow bluestem (Bothriochloa ischaemum), otherwise known as King Ranch bluestem, and Caucasian bluestem (Bothriochloa bladhii). These grasses were introduced for soil conservation and forage production in arid regions of the southern Great Plains; however, in Kansas and elsewhere, they have escaped areas where planted and have been invading native rangelands and pastures that were old crop fields seeded back to native grasses. Efforts …
Ropewick Application To Control Old World Bluestems, K. R. Harmoney
Ropewick Application To Control Old World Bluestems, K. R. Harmoney
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Old world bluestems (OWB) were introduced into the United States in the early 1900s for conservation and forage purposes. The two main OWB species found throughout the southern Great Plains are Caucasian bluestem (Bothriochloa bladhii) and yellow or King Ranch bluestem (Bothriochloa ischaemum). These introduced OWB grasses are warm-season grasses with excellent persistence and production characteristics for regions with low rainfall. These grasses also produce abundant seed and establish more easily under arid conditions compared to some of our most common native warm-season grasses of the Great Plains. The characteristics that enable OWB to be well …
Fallow Weed Control With Preemergence Tank Mixes Of Sharpen, Zidua, Sencor, Banvel, Atrazine, Balance Pro, And Corvus, R. Currie, P. Geier
Fallow Weed Control With Preemergence Tank Mixes Of Sharpen, Zidua, Sencor, Banvel, Atrazine, Balance Pro, And Corvus, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
With the exception of the tank mix of Sharpen and Sencor, all other tank mixes that provided 100% kochia control 53 days after treatment (DAT) were three-way tank mixes of atrazine herbicide plus, Banvel, and Balance Pro or Zidua. Only two tank mixes provided 98% kochia control 143 DAT. These were also three-way tank mixes of these chemistries. Combinations of Balance Pro and Sencor were needed to provide greater than 93% control of Russian thistle 143 DAT. No tank mix provided good control of Palmer amaranth 143 DAT. However, tank mixes of Sharpen, Sencor, and Zidua provided 84% control 143 …
Palmer Amaranth Control And Sorghum Response To Tank Mixtures Of Huskie, R. Currie, P. Geier
Palmer Amaranth Control And Sorghum Response To Tank Mixtures Of Huskie, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Although Huskie treatments caused significant chlorosis, the sorghum recovered fully and chlorosis did not affect yield. All tank mixes of Huskie provided good Palmer amaranth control at all rating dates. Starane NXT provided poor Palmer amaranth control at all rating dates. All tank mixes of Huskie significantly elevated yield compared to the untreated controls or Starane NXT treatments.
Sequential Treatments Of Rimsulfuron, Mesotrione, Thifensulfuron, Balance Flexx, Cinch, Cinch Atz, And Prowl H2o Mixtures For Weed Control In Irrigated Corn, R. Currie, P. Geier
Sequential Treatments Of Rimsulfuron, Mesotrione, Thifensulfuron, Balance Flexx, Cinch, Cinch Atz, And Prowl H2o Mixtures For Weed Control In Irrigated Corn, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
No treatment with less than 1.5 lb/a atrazine provided commercially acceptable Palmer amaranth control. The best level of Palmer amaranth control was produced by treatments that had good preemergence control augmented by a postemergence application with two or more modes of action that contained 0.5 lb/a atrazine. All treatments provided excellent kochia control. The best Russian thistle treatments provided from 77 to 88% control. The best foxtail or crabgrass treatments provided from 91 to 94% control. Combinations of preemergence treatments followed by a postemergence treatment achieved excellent shattercane control.
Weed Control And Crop Tolerance In Inzen Grain Sorghum With Zest Tank Mixtures, R. Currie, P. Geier
Weed Control And Crop Tolerance In Inzen Grain Sorghum With Zest Tank Mixtures, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Although preemergence applications of Cinch ATZ provided excellent green foxtail control, it did not provide commercially acceptable levels of Palmer amaranth or crabgrass control. All postemergence tank mixes of Zest raised the level of control achieved by the preemergence applications of Cinch ATZ to excellent levels for these species. With the exception of the Huskie tank mix, which provided excellent Palmer amaranth control, all other postemergence programs provided only adequate control of Palmer amaranth, crabgrass, or green foxtail. Weed pressure of these species was extreme. Under conditions of extreme weed pressure, a foundation treatment of Cinch ATZ followed by a …

Efficacy Of Anthem, Anthem Atz, Solstice, Keystone Nxt, Corvus, And Surestart Ii In Glyphosate-Resistant Irrigated Corn, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The best treatments provided excellent green foxtail, crabgrass, or shattercane control. All treatments dramatically increased corn yield compared to the control.

Efficacy Of Lumax Ez, Atrazine, Acuron, Armezon, Sharpen, Outlook, Verdict, And Prowl H2o In Irrigated Glyphosate-Resistant Corn, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
All treatments provided statistically superior control of Palmer amaranth compared to the control or a single application of glyphosate. All treatments provided excellent control of all other weed species. Although all herbicide tank mixes elevated corn yield compared to the control, there were no statistically significant differences among herbicides in their ability to do so.
Herbicide Evaluation For Control Of Kochia And Palmer Amaranth In Teff Grass, J. D. Holman, C. Thompson, T. Roberts, S. Maxwell
Herbicide Evaluation For Control Of Kochia And Palmer Amaranth In Teff Grass, J. D. Holman, C. Thompson, T. Roberts, S. Maxwell
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Eleven postemergence herbicide treatments were applied to teff grown for forage to evaluate Palmer amaranth and kochia control, as well as crop tolerance. Effective Palmer amaranth control was achieved with all herbicide treatments, while less than satisfactory kochia control was obtained with atrazine and Harmony. Clarity, 2,4-D, and Huskie applied alone appeared to control kochia, but kochia density was low in the plots. Had the kochia population been higher, similar efficacy ratings may have been attained. Huskie or atrazine caused the most injury to teff. The first harvest suggests these herbicides reduced forage yield to less than 3,000 lb/a.
Weed Control In Irrigated Corn With Combinations Of Corvus, Balance Flexx, Capreno, Laudis, Harness, Atrazine, Glyphosate, Dual, And Diflexx, R. Currie, P. Geier
Weed Control In Irrigated Corn With Combinations Of Corvus, Balance Flexx, Capreno, Laudis, Harness, Atrazine, Glyphosate, Dual, And Diflexx, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Most preemergence treatments followed by postemergence treatments provided better Palmer amaranth control than preemergence treatments alone or early postemergence treatments alone (Table 2). The better treatments provided good control of Palmer amaranth, kochia, Russian thistle, crabgrass, green foxtail, and shattercane. All treatments elevated yield over the untreated control.
