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.
