PROJECT SUMMARY Low-input high-diversity (LIHD) grasslands are a promising system for biofuel production as they provide additional environmental benefits.
Preventive Weed Control. Weed control practices must be:  Effective, economical, practical  Safe to humans  Safe to environment  Minimal non-target.
Approach: Samples were obtained from 4 different plots of land, each with a different land-use. The land uses that were examined were a grassland (hayed),

Fluctuations of the weed seedbank at the long-term at the long-term Beltsville Farming Systems Project John R. Teasdale Ruth W. Mangum Jay Radhakrishnan Michel A. Cavigelli USDA-ARS Beltsville, Maryland, USA

Amaranthus hybridus annual seedbank change High weed cover leads to large seedbank increase at low initial seedbank. High initial seedbank leads to potential large seedbank decrease. Equilibrium defined by horizontal plane through seedbank=0.

Conditions with no annual seedbank change (intersection between response surface and plane at seedbank=0)

Annual weed seedbank dynamics at FSP Extreme drought in 1999 No seed production Poor control High seed production Implication: Seedbank can be reduced rapidly by management if no seed production

Mean over Seedbank of Major Weed Species Longer, more phenologically diverse organic rotations reduced the weed seedbank

Lowering the seedbank by using more diverse rotations can improve weed control in organic corn

YearA. hybridusC. albumGrass Regression R-squared Relation between weed cover at maturity and spring seedbank for major species in corn

Role of Sequence: Three Rotations - All starting Corn-Soybean Rotation had little influence when start with corn

Role of Sequence: Four Year Rotation – Different starting crops Starting rotation with hay reduced seedbank

Seedbanks in organic systems Fluctuated according to level of seed inputs Fluctuated according to level of seed inputs Rapid decline with no seed inputs suggests can reduce seedbank quickly through management Rapid decline with no seed inputs suggests can reduce seedbank quickly through management Rotations with higher phenological diversity can reduce seedbank Rotations with higher phenological diversity can reduce seedbank Rotation sequences beginning with hay are better than sequences beginning with corn Rotation sequences beginning with hay are better than sequences beginning with corn Lower initial seedbank can increase success of weed control in corn Lower initial seedbank can increase success of weed control in corn
