| Abstract |
Effect of wheat straw mulching on herbicide rate reduction in zero-till summer corn was studied from 1997-2001. Wheat straw mulching before corn emergence played a very important role in weed control in corn field. Weed density was reduced by 49.1 %-96.1 % in the wheat straw mulching plots of 4500-7500 kg/ha comparing with the unmulched treatments. The dosage of post-applying herbicide, nicosulfuron and atrazine with acetochlor, could be reduced by 25% in these mulched plots. Wheat straw also reduced corn yield if mulched with 7500 kg/ha |
