66—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 3. 1975 Liming Liming ogricultural Mils is one of the cheapest ways to get more weed control from herbicides, according to Dr. Nathan L. Hartwig, assistant professor of weed science at the Pennsylvania State University. Experiments by Dr. Hartwig and associates show that almost all herbicides work better on neutral Mils than they do on acid soils. Control of fall panicum, for example, can be increased from 25 to 75 per cent by increasing soil pH from 5.5 to 6.5 with recommended rates of atrazine and simazine (Princep). Atrazine and cyanazine (Bladex) produce similar results. The improved weed control and better utilization of nutrients at the higher pH PUBLIC SALE DAIRY HERD DISPERSAL MONDAY, MAY 5, 12:30 P.M.

For Weed level resulted in about 20 bushel per acre IncreaM in corn, Dr. Hartwig said recently. The value of this extra com would be enough to pay for the lime and herbicide, he pointed out. Other herbicided that also work best on limed soils with a pH close to neutral, pH of 7, are cyprazine (Outfox) and propazine (Miiogard). Even herbicides such as alachlor (Lasso), and linuron (Lorox), both not affected drastically by low soil pH, seem to work best on neutral soils, he claimed. In contrast, soil pH has little effect on herbicide activity on sandy or shaiey soils with less than 1 per cent organic matter. He said that quackgrass is one of the most widespread LIVESTOCK Control and difficult weeds to control even under ideal conditions. Split applications of atrazine, or atrazine followed by a combination of atrazine and Princep ■ if fall panicum, witchgrass, or crabgrass are present - is the only effective method of controlling quackgrass at the moment, he affirmed. Since both atrazine and Princep are affected by soil pH, quackgrass control weakens as soon as the pH drops below 7.5 on silt and clay loam soils, or soils with more than 1 per cent organic matter. “Although quackgrass control may not be good on heavy soils when the pH drops to 6.0 or below, we have no alternative to the atrazine-Princep spray program,” Dr. Hartwig stated. “We have discovered that if the second treatment of atrazine or atrazine-Princep is applied post-emergence with oil after the quackgrass has 8 to 10 inches of new growth, we get much better control on acid soils. Control still dosen’t measure up to that obtained on neutral soil,” he added. When the herbicide is applied directly to quackgrass foliage with oil, there is some uptake through the leaves and the soil effect is somewhat bypassed, he noted. As the soil pH is raised closer to neutral, there is less advantage of post-treatments over pre emergency treatments. 1975 William C.
