Extract

Seedling legumes are slow growing plants and poor competitors. During this period of slow growth, weeds have opportunity to outgrow them, and choke out or seriously damage the legume stand. Many of the important weeds are annual broad-leaved plants such as pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), lambs-quarters (Chenopodium album), mustards, and certain annual grasses such as the foxtails (Setaria spp.) and crabgrasses (Digitaria spp.). Perennial weeds, when present, are a serious problem, but this study was directed primarily at annuals. Since the advent of the combine, volunteer wheat and oats from shattered grain have also become a serious problem in summer legume seedings after small grain.
