STABILIZATION & CONSERVATION SERVICE Juri Buschke Joan Hughes Sanriv Bennett Director Program Assistant Program Assistant MCGG evaluates chemical fallow Thr J Morrow Count v Grain Grow crs Co-op has been ewi ln;i ini! the effects of clicmical fallow for the last several years. Soil moisture has been the most significant (actor monitored. However, other related and important elements of the program, as cv aliiiited by John Ripple, are the reduced power needs for the first tillage operation, several reductions in tillage oierati(ins. additional stubble, and hotter soil structure due to these reduced operations. Various chemicals and combinations of chemicals have boon lestc-d for effective ness under a fall applied program. Chemicals included in the program have been the following: Chem Hoe. Para quat . Sencor and Roundup. Exact rales and combinations can Ik- reviewed al the MCGG office in Ifxington. Information collected to dale was started in the fall of IHWI. Some general conclu sions can be reached, how ever, very conclusive results cannot be determined in a short period of lime. Gen erally: ii Fall applied herbicides provided additional moisture in the soil profile as compared to either no treatment or fall tillage ( 15 - :i() percent . i2 Standing stubble stored more moisture than fall filled Ur - 25 percent in the IHWI-Rl stubble year as measured in April 19HI i. '3 1 Fall applied herbicides were effective for control of sod formation. MCGG's plan to continue this evaluation, collecting yield results and more through moisture monitoring, will provide vital data in terms of effectiveness to the grower. Continued coopera tion with various landowners and chemical distributors will insure the program development.
