Shallow Tillage for Weed Control
Experiments conducted by the
Field Husbandry -Division of the 'Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa, prove that
shallow cultivaltion. after a clean hoe
crop is better than ploughing. The
reasons given are that when the sur-
face has been kept clean during the
season, weed .seeds in the top two
or three inches have germinated and
!been pretty well destroyed. Below
this there may be many weed seeds
that have not germinated, but still
retain vitality to do so if brought to
the surface. Ploughing in this case
would tura under sail that is free from
weed and bring to the surface, soil
infested with weed seed's. Cultivating
the sunface in preparation far the
spring seed -bed should not molest
the weed seeds that are lying dormant,
aria the chances are that the crop
would be reasonably clean. 0-n the
other hand, surface soil that is infest-
ed with weeds may be turned under
where they will not bother for a year
or two. it is claimed that shallow til-
lage is more effective than deep til-
lage in the control of annual and bi-
ennial n-eeds, and is also effective in
the control of perennials such as
. ,
couch grass and sow thistle.
After the harvest cultivation ctes-
troys a good many of the annual
weed seeds which have ripened ahead
int' the grain. Allowing the perennial
vveecls to grew until the weather is
hot and the roots have weakened, then
'ploughing and allowing the .furnow to
i dry out ;before starting cultivation is
quite effective in controlling both
couch grass and sow thistle. Both
these weeds infesting a sod field may
te pretty well cleaned out by plough-
ing soon after a hay crop is taken off
and leaving the furrow to dry out be-
fore it is worked. This land may 'then
be thoroughly cultivated during the
late summer and sown to wheat or
left over for a spring crop. A more
vigorous attack on weeds would
tend to larger and more economical
yields of .grain.
