| Abstract/Contents: | States that "bromegrass seed fields are often directly combined and the remaining growth harvested as hay. It is of interest to determine the effects of this stubble removal on subsequent seed crops. Information on burning of stubble as it affects seed yields would help in the settlement of claims from accidental fires." Describes the methods used in stubble removal, stating that "mowing and burning treatments were applied to northern bromegrass during the period 1962 to 1965... Rotovation was done each spring between plants to confine them to 2 feet x 2 feet areas." Explains that "plants were hand harvested for seed, leaving a stubble 16 to 18 inches high. Stubble was then removed with various mowing and burning treatments," and "mowing was done at a 4-inch level with all cut material removed from the plot." Reports that "all mowing and burning treatments gave higher seed yields than the untreated check with only minor differences among treatments. Improved seed yields appeared to result in part from the control of leaf spot." Concludes that "these results point to the benefits to seed growers of residue removal. A fairly common practice of mowing stubble for hay immediately after combining seed appears to be a commendable operation. Early spring burning would probably be preferable to fall burning because better snow accumulation provides frost protection and improves moisture reserves." |
