Abstract

Primary tillage is an inexpensive method to control foxtail barley, a perennial bunchgrass which is an increasing concern to no-till cereal farmers in the Northern Great Plains. Moldboard plowing or chisel plowing in fall followed by field cultivation-harrowing in spring effectively controlled established foxtail barley on previously untilled sites before planting spring wheat. In contrast, chisel plowing in spring followed by field cultivation-harrowing did not control this weed completely.
