A living mulch system consists of growing a regulated cover crop
with an economic crop. Living mulches are often interplanted with
horticultural crops, but competition for water can adversely affect
crop production. Various management practices may limit the negative
effects.
Studies were conducted for two purposes: (1) to determine if...
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices within the limits of experimentation trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with two to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with precision plot sprayers or granular formulations were distributed from...
Experiments were conducted to determine if allelopathy is a mechanism
by which buckwheat interferes with a) the growth of Canada thistle and/or b)
mycorrhizae colonization in Canada thistle roots. In a competition experiment,
buckwheat plant biomass was only affected by the intraspecific competition
from other buckwheat plants and not by...
