Effectiveness of 2-phase soil tillage against weeds in soybean cultivation technology

Abstract

Objective. To develop and apply a system of weed control measures in production, based on a combination of agronomic and biological factors with the maximum possible limitation of chemical measures to increase the productivity of crops and to maintain environmentally sound agriculture. Methods. Field, laboratory, statistical. Results The application of 2-phase soil cultivation reduced the soybean saturation in continuous and broad-range seeding methods by 1.7-2 times, in combination with herbicide, at 2.7-3.4 times, soybean yields increased by 27 on a continuous sowing method, 7%, for broadband - by 29.4%. Conclusions The application of 2-phase soil cultivation contributed to the reduction of inbredness and ensured the increase of soybean yields in both continuous and broad-sowing methods of sowing.
