Title
Potential for Delayed Orchardgrass Seeding during Glyphosate‐Resistant Alfalfa Establishment
Bryan L. Dillehay; William S. Curran; Marvin H. Hall Agronomy Journal 2009. doi:10.2134/agronj2008.0132x
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Orchardgrass established more slowly than alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate increased alfalfa content at first harvest by 17 to 35%.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate reduced or left orchardgrass content similar at first harvest.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate reduced weed content by 75 to 90% at first harvest.
- Intervention effect Without herbicide, weed biomass in delayed orchardgrass sowing treatments was at least 4.5 times greater by the third harvest.
- Intervention effect Orchardgrass content in delayed sowing without herbicide was the same or less than with comparable glyphosate treatments.
- Intervention effect Two years after establishment, simultaneous orchardgrass sowing followed by glyphosate lowered orchardgrass content only in the first two cuttings.
- Recommendation The authors do not generally recommend simultaneous orchardgrass sowing followed by glyphosate.
