Pre-Emergence Weed Killers Not 100 Sure LINCOLN There has been a lot of interest In pre-emergence weed control chemicals on corn, mllo, and soybeans, but reports have varied as to apparent effec tiveness of such chemicals. Several factors may deter mine the success of these chem icals, according to John Furrer, University of Nebraska Exten sion agronomist: 1. Rainfall Light to moderate rainfall is essential. Excessive rainfall reduces the effective ness and may cause injury to the germinating crop seed. 2. Coll Heavy soils tend to absorb some chemicals, thereby making them unavailable. Acid soils tend to break down certain herbicides more rapidly. On sandy soils the rates should be reduced. 3. Seedbed Condition Rough, cloddy seedbeds account for many poor results. 4. Unitormity of Application With some equipment it is diffi cult to get even distribution and this results In poor control. . . 5. Temperature and Light High temperatures cause volati zation of some chemicals. Ultra violet light breaks down some herbicides. 6. Choice of Chemical and Dos ageChemicals are designed for use on specific crops and for specific types of weeds. The above information may help you better understand your results with pre-emergence weed control. Chemical weed control holds a lot of promise. As more experimental work is completed and the price of chemicals be come mere in line with what farmers are willing to pay, this practice will become a regular part of many farmers' grain pro ducing operations, Furrer points out.
