1958
Lovely, W. G. | Weber, C. R. | Staniforth, D. W.
SynopsisRotary hoeing performed when weeds were germinating but not emerged, and repeated once or twice at approximately 5-day intervals, reduced weed infestations 70 to 80% and soybean stands about 10% in solid-seeded and row-planted soybeans. Bean yields were only slightly less than those from weed-free plantings. When hoeing was delayed until weeds had emerged, both weed control and bean yield were impaired 50%. Wet soil conditions before or after hoeing reduced its effectiveness.
