| Abstract/Contents: | Living mulches are thought to be effective as soil stabilizers, traffic improvers, increasers of water infiltration and nutrient retention, and undesirable weed suppressors. "Trials involving grapes, Christmas trees, Marion berries, and vegetables have been conducted at various sites in western Oregon since 1983 to evaluate several living mulches and associated management practices. Generally, dwarf or intermediate perennial ryegrass cultivars were selected as living mulches, although other grass species were compared in a low maintenance trial. Management strategies compared bare ground with mechanically or chemically mowed perennial ryegrass strips that covered approx. 60 to 75% of the entire soil surface. Chemical suppression involved applications of fluazifop or sethoxydim with 1% (v/v) crop oil or glyphosate broadcast to actively growing grass. Primary data comparisons included grass suppression, soil water use, and crop growth paramters or yields. In addition to standard field procedures, brief descriptions of specific practices are included within subsequent topics." Perennial ryegrass foliage and seed heads were suppressed by 75%-85% using sublethal fluazifop or sethoxydim. Glyphosate was ineffective as repeated chemical mowing resulted in turf thinning. To test soil moisture, blocks were placed at 1, 2 and 3 ft below sod. Chemical mowing with fluazifop reduced soil soil moisture requirements in 2/6 trials. Regarding crop response, both cabbage and pak choi performed better with chemically suppressed perennial ryegrass. |
