Conclusions – Tillage/Cover

  • 1. Heavy residue reduced pigweed emergence 50

(row) to 94% (middle).

  • 2. Deep turning reduced pigweed emergence 46

to 47%.

  • 3. Deep turning and cover crop residue reduced

Palmer emergence 65 (row) to 96% (middle).

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Conclusions – RR System

  • 1. Deep turning or cover crops improved late-

season control 17 to 18%.

  • 2. Deep turning plus cover crops improved late-

season control 35%.

  • 3. Yields followed trends with Palmer control

but was influenced by tillage/cover crop residue.

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Conclusions – Ignite System

  • 1. Palmer control at least 97%; more effective

than RR systems except when using deep turning and cover crop residue.

  • 2. Yields were increased 10% (numerical) by

deep turning, 15% with cover crop, and 26% with deep turning plus cover crops.
