Control Fall Weeds In Wheat Stubble Fields

By Aaron Hager posted on October 1, 2007 | Posted in Crop Protection, Residue Management

Aaron Hager of the University of Illinois Extension Service cautions that wheat stubble fields in which no second crop is planted often become populated with summer annual (and sometimes perennial) weed species. No-tillers should not allow these plants to reach maturity and produce seed, he says.

Corn Stover A Second Crop?

By Mark Moore posted on May 1, 2007 | Posted in Residue Management

The value of the corn residue on your fields might be more than agronomic: A market for corn stover to feed ethanol production is expected to develop in the foreseeable future.

Determine Residue’s Value Now

When selling residue becomes an option, no-tillers will have to consider the residue needed for soil protection and the cost to replace lost nutrients.

Corn residue generates increasing interest as a source of value-added products, most notably ethanol. But before you begin to collect corn stover, it’s important to realize the value of leaving residue for your no-tilled ground. Collecting the stover might offer some no-tillers a great opportunity to pull additional income from their fields; but for others, the value of the residue is greater if it is left on the ground.

Capture Residue’s Full Value

Besides slashing soil losses, no-till residues can trim fertilizer bills by $50 in a 3-year rotation.
