Title
Effect of autumn management on winter annual weeds prior to cotton planting.
Theodore M. Webster The journal of cotton science/Journal of cotton science 2010
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Post-corn-harvest treatments gave inconsistent winter weed control.
- Intervention effect Disking or glyphosate at five weeks after cotton harvest reduced cutleaf evening-primrose ground cover and density, except glyphosate in 2004.
- Observation Critical cutleaf evening-primrose establishment occurred around five weeks after cotton harvest.
- Intervention effect Preplant 2,4-D controlled cutleaf evening-primrose, leaving no green plants at cotton planting.
- Association Cutleaf evening-primrose remnant numbers differed among tillage and 2,4-D systems.
- Intervention effect Conventional tillage had fewer cutleaf evening-primrose plants than reduced tillage.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D in strip-tillage reduced cutleaf evening-primrose density by at least 70%.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D in no-tillage reduced cutleaf evening-primrose density by at least 70%.
- Intervention effect Tillage system showed no effect on cotton yield.
- Recommendation The authors identify 2,4-D as an effective option for cutleaf evening-primrose control before cotton planting.
