Low Tillage Weed Control System
Summary
This project will look at developing soil humus with weed control accomplished in a sustainable manner with as little tillage as possible. In addition to conserving soil organic matter, such an approach to weed control also reduces degradation of soil structure due to rain and irrigation, as well as soil loss through erosion. The concepts investigated here could be applicable to many perennial farming systems requiring in-row and between-row weed control.
