Abstract

Postemergence applications or a combination of preemergence and postemergence treatments in double cropped soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Ransom’] resulted in higher soybean yields than preemergence applications. Preemergence-treated plots were 98% weed free early in the growing season; however, weeds emerged later and reduced yields. Weeds had to be controlled in soybeans for 90% of the growing season to avoid yield loss. Soybean yields were higher under no-till than conventionally tilled management in two of three years and tended to be higher during the third year. Distribution and timing of rainfall were more important in determining soybean yield than the total amount received during the growing season.
