The weather in Michigan has grown cold and so our research program has moved indoors. Today we kicked off our first big greenhouse project of 2012 looking at how corn herbicides could impact the following rye cover crop. Field-collected soils from select corn herbicide treatments are used to evaluate rye emergence, injury, and biomass accumulation. These treatments are compared to greenhouse treated herbicide dilution series consisting of the same herbicides at rates ranging from 1/2x to 1/32x. Stay tuned for results from this study supported by Project GREEEN.
The greenhouse requires herbicide mixes of only 30 ml total instead of our typical 1-2 gallons in the field.
