14*—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 11,1979 Mulches UNIVERSITY PARK - No-tillage is one of the most effective management systems for reducing erosion losses in agriculture, as shown by crop scientists at Penn State University. The Penn Staters have found that certain mulches in no-tillage corn can reduce runoff water on sloping land by as much as 98 per cent, compared to erosion from conventionally tilled land. In addition, soil losses can be reduced by nearly 100 per cent. Equally important, losses of cyanazine herbicide were reduced by as much as 97 per cent, declared Dr. Jon K. Hall of Penn State’s Agricultural Experiment Station. Dr. Hall addressed annual meetings of the American Society of Agronomy August 6 in Fort Collins, CO. Dr. Hall and associates are studying the ef fectiveness of cornstalk residues and two “living mulches,” birdsfoot trefoil and crownvetch, in reducing erosion and herbicide runoff. A “living mulch” is not killed, but regrows for use with future no-tillage crops. Herbicides are vital in C. H.

Jack Wood’s Livestock & Auction Service Sale Managers Cincinnatus, NY 13040 607-863-4141 reduce erosion in no-tillage getting no-tillage corn established, it was pointed out, since they hold back growth of the “living mulches” and control weeds while the com seeds are germinating and during early com growth. Springtime success of cyanazine or other her bicides in controlling crownvetch and birdsfoot trefoil depends largely on rainfall, Dr. Hall said. Lack of rain reduces the her bicide’s effect and allows these legumes to dominate early com growth, delaying com maturity and reducing yields. Despite excellent erosion control, com yields have been lower with the “living mulch” legumes than on plowed surfaces. For example, in 1978, with adequate suppression of “living mulches,” no-tillage com produced 121 bushels per acre in birdsfoot trefoil and 100 bushels per acre with crownvetch. Untilled fields mulched with cornstalks averaged 121 bushels per acre. Conventionally planted com averaged 129 bushels per acre. Of the two “living mulches,” birdsfoot trefoil 7:30 P.M. Sharp looks the most promising for no-till com management, Dr. Hall observed, since it competes less with com than does crownvetch. Moreover, single applications of cyanizine are more effective in suppressing initial growth of birdsfoot trefoil than of crownvetch. “Our results do not ex clude the use of crownvetch as a ‘living mulch’ for no tillage com,” he stated. “High com yields can be achieved in crownvetch, especially where atrazine, simazine, or dicamba are included in the spray program.” CONSIGNMENT SALE OF f EEDER PIGS & FEEDER CATTLE FRIDAY, AUGUST 17,1979 6:30 P.M.

He claimed the studies should stress three aspects: (1) herbicide rates and combinations must be defined, (2) the most favorable soil fertility conditions must be deter mined for the “living mulch” and the crop, and (3) soil and crop management practices consistent with maximum com production should be developed.
