EFFICACY of ORGANIC WEED CONTROL METHODS Scott Snell, Natural Resources Specialist
FINAL STUDY REPORT (Cape May Plant Materials Center, Cape May Court House, NJ) EFFICACY OF ORGANIC WEED CONTROL METHODS Scott Snell, Natural Resources Specialist ABSTRACT Organic weed control methods have varying degrees of effectiveness and cover a broad range of costs financially and in time. Studies were conducted at the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Cape May Plant Materials Center, Cape May Court House, New Jersey to examine the efficacy and costs of a variety of organic weed control methods: tillage, organic herbicide (acetic acid), flame treatment, solarization, and use of a smother cover crop. The smother cover and organic herbicide treatment plots displayed the least efficacy to control weeds with the average percent weed coverage of each method being over 97%. The organic herbicide plots also had the greatest financial costs and required the second most treatment time following the flame treatment plots. Although the flame treatment method was time consuming, it was effective resulting in an average of 12.14% weed coverage. Solarization required below average treatment time and resulted in an average of 49.22% weed coverage. The tillage method was found to be the most effective means of control and also had well below average financial costs and required slightly above average treatment time. INTRODUCTION The final results of the third biennial national Organic Farming Research Foundation’s (OFRF) survey found that organic producers rank weed control as one of the top problems negatively affecting their farms’ profitability (1999). Weed control options available for organic producers are far more limited than those of conventional production due to organic certification standards. -

Protect Your Pet Against Cheat Grass and Foxtail!
Society for the Prevention of 831-465-5000 main Cruelty to Animals 831-479-8530 fax 2685 Chanticleer Avenue www.santacruzspca.org Santa Cruz, CA 95065 Protect your pet against Cheat Grass and Foxtail! Be on the lookout for these tiny and troublesome weeds Late summer is the time to be on alert for various "invaders" from the plant world. As grasses and weeds dry out and seeds begin to scatter, this can mean trouble for pets (and annoyances for people). Daily checks and quick removal are the key to preventing serious problems in the future. Cheatgrass, also known as Cheat grass (two words), June Grass, Downy Brome, grass awn, or by the scientific name, Bromus tectorum L., is a potentially dangerous weed common in many parts of North America. It is commonly confused with another dangerous weed, the foxtail. The danger lies in the "invasiveness" of the dry seed pods found in late summer and early fall. These pods have one-way microscopic barbs that allow the seed to work its way into fur, skin, and mucous membranes, but not work itself back out, much like the one-way movement of porcupine quills. Foxtail weeds shed very small black seeds which also work their way into fur, skin, and tissue. These annoying and troublesome weeds have been found in the skin (i.e. between the toes), eyes, ears, mouth, vulva and even interior body cavities such as lungs and abdomen, causing sometimes very serious punctures and infections. It is important not to underestimate the potential seriousness of this common problem. -

Xps Supercarbon Hooks
HOOKS & PRE TIED RIGS XPS SUPERCARBON HOOKS Extra Performance Series is the name of Trabucco quality ho- oks developed for top match anglers, which now gets much wider also touching different segments such as feeder fishing, commercial carping, trout fishing, light drifting and beach ledgering. In line with existing series, also the new ones display “extra performance”, because the extreme quality is not only achieved with the development of new shapes, but also through the em- ployed materials, the finish and functional details. The strength/ lightness ratio has been tailored size by size, taking advantage of the special hi-carbon content steel, which is only available in Japan, where these fantastic hooks are produced under strict quality control. All points are chemically sharpened, then further finished by laser to get absolute perfection and durability. 5($/6,=(( 120 XN N Nickel Regular This pattern is well known all over Europe since when the carbon content steel was unknown in the fishing tackle industry. From roach to mullets, from eels to soles, it has caught so many species both in fresh and salt waters, showing great efficiency when baited up and while removed from fish mouth. It’s popularity is certainly also due to the long point, parallel to shank, and to the narrow ankle which provide bait and fish hold. All bait which are normally pushed on to the shank are finely matching it: from pinkies and squatts to earthworms in freshwater; from enchovy fillet to shrimp’s tail in the saltwater. &RGH 6L]H :LUH 3FV%DJ 121 XB BR Bronzed Forged MicroBarb Its code recalls the classic 120, as its shape comes from long shank popularity, but its strength is stepped up. -
