Timing and Intensity of Cultivation and Effects on Weed Control

View the project final report

Commodities

• Agronomic: corn

Practices

• Production Systems: general crop production

We want to address the problem of weed control in a corn crop with the use of cultivation. We want to see if there is a relationship between the amount of crop yield and the frequency of cultivation and also to see what effect under-seeding with clover will have on the yield. The researchers have stated that they would conduct weed ratings and biomass counts at and around canopy closure. They will also conduct measurements of yield and weed population assessment between each plot.
