Gd. Hoyt et al., INFLUENCE OF HERBICIDES AND TILLAGE ON WEED-CONTROL, YIELD, AND QUALITY OF CABBAGE (BRASSICA-OLERACEA L VAR CAPITATA), Weed technology, 10(1), 1996, pp. 50-54
Transplanted cabbage was grown in conventional-tillage (100% cultivate
d) and strip-tillage (25 % cultivated and 75 % residue) production sys
tems with various herbicide treatments to evaluate weed control and ca
bbage yield. DCPA at 9 kg ai/ha, napropamide at 1.1 kg ai/ha, oxyfluor
fen at 0.3 kg ai/ha, and oxyfluorfen at 0.2 kg ai/ha plus napropamide
at 1.1 kg ai/ha provided commercially acceptable (> 80%) control of ca
rpetweed, swinecress, large crabgrass, redroot pigweed, and common lam
bsquarters under both tillage systems. However, only oxyfluorfen plus
napropamide provided control of eclipta. At a second location, all her
bicides controlled common purslane and barnyardgrass and all but DCPA
controlled hairy galinsoga. Overall, cabbage yields were the same betw
een conventional and strip-tillage systems, and among herbicide treatm
ents when average cabbage head weights across tillage method were pool
