Abstract

Prior to planting of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), stony soils were sprayed with ethyl N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) at 0, 2.0, or 4.0 lb/A and were tandem-disked or harrowed 0, 1, 2, or 3 times or rotary-tilled to incorporate the herbicide. Rotary tillage was the best incorporation method where stones were not numerous. Tandem disking was the most practical. Annual grasses were controlled by 2.0 lb/A EPTC and one incorporation. Higher rates of EPTC and more incorporations resulted in better annual broadleaf weed control and increased yields of birdsfoot trefoil.
