The efficiency of leaf effect herbicides in corn crops was studied. The study was carried out in 2001–2016 in the experimental fields of Primorye on brown meadow podzolized soils containing 3-4% of humus in the arable horizon. In 2001–2010 corn of hybrid population Slavyanka was sown and in 2015–2016 – ZPTK196, with a seeding rate of 70.000 seeds/ha. Herbicides Milagro (1.0 and 1.5 l/ha), Titus (0.04 kg/ha), Cordus (0.04 kg/ ha) and Doublon Gold (0.07 kg/ha) in tank mixture with Luvaram (0.82 l/ha) or Dianatom (0.4 l/ ha) enhanced the effect of preparations on weed plants, especially on common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia). Biological efficiency increased to 74–90%, and yield – by 0.43–1.80 t/ha. The use of herbicide Basis (0.02 and 0.025 kg/ha) led to the increase in corn grain yield to 1.43–2.06 t/ ha. Resistant to this herbicide was dayflower (Commelina communis), which, due to the lack of other weeds, increased the above-ground mass to 1.3 kg / m2.. The application of herbicide MaisTer provided the yield increase up to 2.09–2.41 t/ha. It was observed that for more reliable suppression of common ragweed, herbicide MaisTer (0.125 and 0.15 kg/ha) should be used no later than the phase of three pairs of leaves when the air temperature does not exceed 200C. The herbicides Titus Plus (0.34 and 0.38 kg/ha) and Stellar (1.5l/ ha) almost completely purified the corn from weeds, which contributed to the preservation of 2.07–3.59 t/ha of corn.

Corn (Zea mays L.) plots receiving broadcast spray applications of triazine herbicides without cultivation yielded as much as plots receiving the standard two cultivations for weed control. One cultivation resulted in an average 6% increase in corn grain yield on herbicide treated plots. This yield increase probably was due to improved weed control. Weed growth reduced grain yields an average of 1.23 bu/A for each 100 lb/A of dry weeds. In some experiments, increases in corn yield due to improved weed control by cultivation on plots treated with herbicides were less than increases expected based on weed growth reductions. This disparity may have been due to injury to the corn by cultivation.

The biological and economic efficiency of the new herbicide Flex in post-emergence application to soybean crops of the variety Sphera was studied. The tests were carried out incompliance with the standard methods in the form of the plot experiment in 2017, 2018 on brown meadow podzolized soils in the south of the Far East. The preparation was tested in the consumption rates of 1.25 and 1.5 l/ha when the crop reached the development phase of two triple leaves as opposed to the standard herbicide Galaxy Top in the rate of 1.7 l/ha. It was found that Flex has a high herbicidal activity against all dicotyledonous annual and perennial species of weeds. Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) and Asian copperleaf (Acalypha australis L.) were highly sensitive to the preparation even in the minimum consumption rate. Especially strong toxic effect of Flex was produced on such weeds in the rosette phase as Asiatic dayflower (Commelina communis L.), lamb’s quarters (Chenopodium album L.), field milk thistle (Sonchus arvensis L.), creeping thistle (Cirsium setosum (Willd.) Bieb.) and common mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris L.). Consistent application of graminicide Fuzilade Forte in the rate of 1.5 l/ha after treatment of soybean crops with herbicide Flex contributed to an almost complete elimination of annual grass weeds. The high biological efficiency of the experimental preparation contributed to a significant increase in crop yield. In 2018, when it was applied in the minimum rate of 1.25 l/ha, the yield achieved was 0.94 t/ha, exceeding the control value by 3.3 times. The highest yield increase of soybean seeds (1.12 t/ha on average for 2 years) was obtained with the use of herbicide Flex in the maximum consumption rate of 1.5 l/ha. Application of herbicide Flex to soybean crops in the rates of 1.25 and 1.5 l/ha alongside with the preparation Trend 90 in the rate of 0.2 l/ha proved to be highly effective in eliminating annual and perennial dicotyledonous weeds (in early stages of development) from soybean crops.

An F1 hybrid from parental wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars with wide genetic diversity yielded 7329 kg/ha, a 26% increase over the higher yielding parent. Two other crosses resulted in an F1 yield increase of 15 and 5%. The best hybrid outyielded Genesee, which averaged 6177 kg/ha, by 19%. All data were averaged over a two-year period and were obtained at a standard seeding rate. Grain yields decreased from the F1 to the F2 generation in all three crosses and in the best cross from 26 to 13%. Heterosis for grain yield was manifested primarily in tillering and kernels per spike. Tillering increased by 6.9% and kernels per spike by 8.2%, while kernel weight increased by 1.0%, over the higher parent. An increase in plant height was observed. Milling and baking characteristics of F1 crosses, made within the soft wheat class, were closer to the softer quality parent. Baking quality declined in the F2 generation. Seed produced from two male sterile lines, however, had poorer milling and baking characteristics than seed from their self-fertile counterparts, and this may present a problem for soft quality flour production.

The data for 2018-2019 on tests of the Kamelot herbicide for the protection of soybeans in the Amur Region are presented. The herbicide was applied before soybean germination at a rate of 4 l / ha. The biological efficiency of Camelot was 87-93%, which corresponded to the value of the standard (Frontier Optima). High efficiency of the herbicide was found out against common commeline, white mari, backyard buckwheat and chicken millet. The yield increase was equal to 6.1 c/ha.

Planting date (PD), seeding rate (SR), relative maturity (RM) of cultivars, and row spacing (RS) are primary management factors affecting soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yield. The individual and synergistic effects of PD, SR, RM, and RS on seed yield and agronomic characteristics in North Dakota were herein investigated. Early and late PD, early and late RM cultivars, two SR (408,000 and 457,000 seed ha−1), and two RS (30.5 and 61 cm) were evaluated in four total environments in 2019 and 2020. Maximizing green canopy cover prior to the beginning of flowering improved seed yield. Individual factors of early PD and narrow RS resulted in yield increase of 311 and 266 kg ha−1, respectively. The combined factors of early PD, late RM, high SR, and narrow RS improved yield by 26% and provided a $350 ha−1 partial profit over conventional practices. Canopy cover and yield had relatively weak relationships with r2 of 0.36, 0.23, 0.14, and 0.21 at the two trifoliolate, four trifoliolate, beginning of flowering, and beginning of pod formation soybean growth stages, respectively. Producers in the most northern soybean region of the USA should combine early planting, optimum RM cultivars, 457,000 seed ha−1 SR, and 31 cm RS to improve yield and profit compared to current management practices.

Traditionally, farmers have delayed seeding to manage wild oat (Avena fatua L.) in tame oat (Avena sativa L.) crops, but this practice can adversely affect grain yield and quality. The objectives of this study were: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of using high seeding rates with early-seeded oat to maintain grain yield and quality, and (2) to determine an optimum seeding rate to manage wild oat and maximize grain yield and quality. The factors of interest were wild oat density (low and high density), seeding date (early May, mid May, early June and mid June), and tame oat seeding rate (150, 250, 350 and 450 viable seeds m-2). The study was conducted at Indian Head and Saskatoon, SK, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, at Winnipeg, MB, in 2002, and at Morden, MB, in 2003 and 2004. Wild oat biomass, wild oat panicle density and wild oat seed in the harvested sample decreased as seeding rate increased, while tame oat biomass and grain yield increased. Wild oat density ranged between 0 and 100 plants m-2 with averages of 10 plants m-2 in the low density treatment and 27 plants m-2 in the high density treatment. At low seeding rates, grain yield decreased with increasing wild oat density. The difference in grain yield between the two wild oat densities decreased as the seeding rate increased. There was a curvilinear decrease in grain yield as seeding was delayed. A seeding date × seeding rate interaction was noted for test weight, plump seed, thin seed and groat yield. Seed quality improved as seeding rate increased for only the mid-June seeding date. Even though the mid-June test weight increased as the seeding rate increased it was always lower than the early May test weight at any seeding rate. The results from this study established that in the presence of wild oats, early seeding of tame oat is possible providing high seeding rates, 350 plants m-2 are used.Key words: Wild oat competition, wild oat density, wild oat biomass, grain yield, grain quality

This paper, which is the second in a series of three, describes dryland crop growth and yields in a windbreak bay in south-western Australia and relates changes to microclimate modification by the windbreaks. Over the 4 years of this trial, above ground biomass and the development rate of crops 3–20 times the tree height from the windbreak (H) were similar to crops growing in unsheltered conditions (more than 20 H from the windbreaks). Grain yield was 16–30% higher between 3 H and 20 H than at more than 20 H in 1994, the driest year on record for the district, in other years yield was largely unchanged. In contrast, above ground biomass growth was consistently less within 3 H than further from the windbreaks and grain yield within 3 H was 19–27% less than unsheltered yield. Water use by the trees is the most likely cause of reduced yield within 3 H. Over the 4 years, mean grain yield between 0.5 H and 20 H was 3.8% greater than yield at more than 20 H. This increase was largely due to the yield increase in 1994. As 5.4% of the paddock was directly occupied by, or uncropped next to, the windbreaks, there was a net yield decrease of 2.8% over 4 years compared to estimated production from a similar area with no windbreaks. The principle benefits of the windbreaks were reducing evaporative demand in extremely dry years and protection against extreme wind events. These benefits must be weighed against the costs of establishing and maintaining windbreak systems.
