Abstract

Data from a spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/spring dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) rotation, in southeastern Washington, were used to evaluate a Phoenix rotary harrow prototype, pre-plant glyphosate application, and an M&W Minimum Tillage rotary hoe on crop density, weed cover and biomass at maturity, and crop yield. The experiment consisted of two pre-plant treatments [glyphosate (control) or rotary harrow], two post-emergence chemical treatments (control or herbicide application), and five in-crop tillage treatments (control, 2-5 rotary hoe operations) in the 2004 growing season. Hoe operations did not cause a significant reduction in crop density. When the post-emergence herbicide was applied to the wheat and peas, weed cover was significantly reduced by at least 45 and 27%, respectively. Weed biomass was significantly reduced when glyphosate and the post-emergence herbicide were applied in wheat. Weed biomass was similar for all weed control treatments in pea, although the post-emergence herbicide tended to reduce weed biomass. Wheat and pea yields were not affected by the weed control treatments and were no less than 1.1 and 2.5 t ha, respectively. In the 2005 growing season, the experiment consisted of four pre-plant treatments (control, glyphosate, rotary harrow, glyphosate + rotary harrow) and four in-crop tillage treatments (control, 2, 3, or 4 rotary hoe operations). Rotary hoe operations did not cause a significant reduction in crop density. Weed biomass of the control treatments were about five times those of the previous year.
