For lack of a dependable
weed control program,
potential savings in time,
labor, energy and moisture
are being lost.
A strong demand for grain
straw may have contributed
to some of the weed control
failures in no-tillage beans,
explains the agronomist.
With barley and wheat straw
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 17,1979—155
selling for $3O a ton, growers'
have cut low in order to
harvest as much straw as
possible. Without realizing
it, this practice may be
costing them money in terms
of reduced soybean yields.
Tests at the University of
Delaware’s Georgetowh
Substation have shown that a
short stubble height may be
associated with poor weed
control.
In these tests a five inch to
six inch barley stubble was
compared with 10 inch and 15
inch stubble heights for the
production of no-tillage
soybeans. There was a yield
advantage of about five
bushels in favor of the
liighest stubble height. “At
current prices it would
probably be better to leave
the straw and grow the extra
beans,” notes Mitchell.
High stubble caused beans
to grow taller, and both
stubble and bean plants

contributed to rapid shading
of the ground - which
discouraged weed growth.
Though most of the yield
increase came as a result of
improved weed control, high
stubble also caused soybean
pods to develop well above
the ground and under
commercial farming con
ditions this could make
harvest a little easier and
reduce field losses.
In these tests soybeans
were planted in 20-inch rows
using a no-till planter
equipped with fluted coulters
and ribbed press wheels.
Good control of weeds at
planting time by use of an
effective “knock-down”
herbicide cancelled out the
desirable effects of a high
stubble.
Paraquat at one pint per
acre with a five inch stubble
produced the lowest yields.
Yields were raised about the
