WASHINGTON, D.C. -
After suffering through two
plowings per year for 5
years, an experimental
velvetleaf plot stUl contained
8 percent of the original
seed, about 85 unger
miniated seeds per square
foot.
Two research agronomists
used an experimental field
that had been planted to
velvetleaf for several years
to evaluate the effects of
seven tillage and cropping
systems on the velvetleaf
population. _
When they started the
project m 1974, soil samples
showed about 53 million
velvetleaf seeds per acre or
more than 1,200 per square
foot. During the 5-year
project, plants not controlled
by cultural practices were
removed by hand so that no
new velvetleaf seeds were
produced on the plot.

of ungerminated velvetleaf
seeds still left in the
soil were: continuous

fall plowing, 18, continuous
fallow with fall plowing, 13;
continuous oats with post
emergence
herbicides and fall plowing,

emergence herbicides and
fall plowing, 8; continuous
fallow with two plowings, 7.
The scientists, William E.
Lueschen and Robert N.
Andersen, say their study
demonstrates the extreme
difficulty of eradicating a
velvetleaf infestation.
