| dc.description | One of the costs associated with post emergent application of herbicides in small grains with
ground sprayers is the potential reduction in yield resulting from damaged plants and compacted soil
in the wheel tracks. The size of this yield reduction, if any, has been debated considerably, particularly among individuals comparing the merits of ground
and aerial application. Two surveys have been made to investigate the extent of wheel track damage to small grain under field conditions in Cass, Eddy and Foster counties. This article presents the findings of a 1970 survey and to list the hypothesized relevant variables and problems of obtaining precise answers. It was discovered that sSignificant economic losses from ground post emergent application equipment amounting to from .4 to 1.2 per cent in total yields were observed in small grains. Farmers should consider the probability of reduced yield from wheel tracks and agronomic conditions when selecting the equipment to apply post emergent herbicides to small grains. | |
