012-Uncaster Farming Saturday, February 1,1986 CHICAGO - Early postemergence use of tran slocating herbicides can be a practical, cost-effective solution for broadleaf weed control problems in no-till com, according to weed scientists. Dr. Robert Wilson, Univesity of Nebraslca agronomist, says that heavy crop residue in no-till can sometimes prevent pre-emergence herbicides from delivering con sistent control. “Heavy residue presents more of a problem for pre-emergence herbicides when it’s dry in the spring. If there’s no moisture to activate pre emergence triazine herbicides, there’s no potential for control problems in no-till,’’ he says. Wilson, who conducts research projects at the university’s Panhandle Research and Ex tension Center in Scottsbluff, Neb., adds that perennial weeds, such as Canada thistle and field bindweed, appear to be more of a problem in no-till com. Because surface residue can tie up pre-emergence triazine her bicide treatments, no-till farmers may have to increase rates. For instance, Bladex rates should be increased 25 percent for pre emergence treatments on heavy crop residue, according to the product’s specimen label. No-till fanners who are not getting consistent control from pre-emergence treatments should seriously consider an early postemergence herbicide ap plication, says Richard Pierce, Velsicol Chemical Corporation ALL PURPOSE CART With Removable Front For Easy Dumping • 2 Sizes In Stock * 8 Cu.

"GREAT FOR LAWN, GARDEN AND FARM USE" Elam M. Ebersol 558 Gibbons Rd Crop residue may block Product Development researcher, Bloomington, Ind. Two popular herbicides for postemecgence use in no-till com are Banvel and 2,4-D. Since its introduction in 1947,2,4-D has been widely used, however, Pierce points out that 2,4-D has some limitations. “Under ideal conditions, 2,4-D performs well. But in cool weather or on larger weeds, 2,4-D doesn’t always give consistent control. Also, 2,4-D does control some perennial seedlings, but it doesn’t perform well on established Combination ok’d for Sencor KANSAS CITY, MO -* Soybean growers can now use (R) SENCOR DF or SENCOR 4 herbicide in combination with Sonalan (R) SEC to control broadleaf and grass weeds such as lambsquarter, velvetleaf, shattercane and fall panicum. Under these new registrations, SENCOR can be applied preplant incorporated with Sonalan or as a preemergence overlay following a preplant incorporated application of Sonalan. SENCOR can also be applied SPLIT-SHOT (TM) with a ppi application of SENCOR and Sonalan tank mix followed by a preemergence application of To Lancaster perennials or suppress growth from perennial roots,” he says. Pierce adds that 2,4-D can cause brittleness in com, which makes the plant susceptible to breakage from heavy winds. In contrast, Banvel early post treatments are safer on com and provide more consistent control of broadleaf weeds than 2,4-D. Banvel, therefore, can allow maximum yields and give no-till growers an excellent return on their herbicide investment. Because of its residual activity, translocating ability and water solubility, one pint per acre of SENCOR alone. The SPLIT-SHOT application of SENCOR and Sonalan provides better control of tough weeks such as cocklebur, sunflower and sicklepod. Sonalan alone, and SENCOR and Sonalan tank mixes should be applied uniformily and mixed into the soil within two days after application. The herbicide should be incorporated into the top one or two inches of soil within 21 days before planting. SENCOR is a product of Mobay Chemical Corporation, a diver sified manufacturer of agricultural and industrial chemicals.
