Yield checks were made to compare yields in areas
where control was good to yields in badly infested areas.
The test plots were conducted, evaluated, and reported
by Donald M Robinson and Robert J Anderson, adult
farmer instructors from the Eastern Lancaster County
School District

Yield checks of the control areas where little or no
control of shattercane was obtained revealed that the com
yielded only 44 percent of the corn yield checked in areas
where good control was obtained
Corn m the control areas had extremely small ears,
many barren stalks, and the corn was not as mature as
that in the clean areas of the plot
Effective (commercially acceptable), although not 100
percent complete, control was achieved with the
Eradicane (7 3 pint rate) and the Eradicane 13.5 pint) plus
Sutan (3 pint) combination.
• Sutan <5 pint rate), double incorporated, gave moderate
to good control on two of the three farms.
Sutan (5 pmt rate) single incorporated, and Prowl (3
pint rate) reduced weed population considerably but not
to a commercially acceptable level
Little or no control of shattergrass was achieved with
the two control treatments

Adult Farmer instructor Don Robinson displays
a shattercane plant. While it looks a bit like
Johnsongrass, shattercane has a mugh. tighter and
denser seed head which is darker than John
songrass’s. Shattercane also can be pulled out of
the ground quite easily and does not have the
typical rhizome development displayed by
Johnsongrass.
