WEED BURNING PAYS! -:- t -:- The following are results - of our alfalfa field flaming tests conducted with the cooperation of Mr. F. L. Timmons, Regional Coordinator, Weed Investigations Section United States Department of Agriculture, Field Crops, Research Branch, Agronomy Department, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming.. On the Test plots burning at three intensities was compared with several chemical chem-ical spray treatments in each experiment. The tests were made on June 22, 1955, immediately after removal of the first crop of alfalfa for hay. The results of these are shown in the accompanying table. Summarizing the results of the subject tests burning gave 80 to 90 per cent "control of dodder and appeared more effective in reducing dodder and increasing alfalfa seed yield's than any of the chemical treatments. Moderate burning (2 minutes per square rod or 15 gallons per acre) was as effective as sereve burning (3 minutes min-utes per square rod or 24 to 30 gallons per acre) and only slightly more effective than light burning (1 minute per square rod or 8 to 12 gallons per acre). Alfalfa seed yields were quite low in these fields due to ly'gus bug injury and due to hot, dry weather during blossoming and seed cutting. Despite these unfavorable unfavor-able conditions, the yields of alfalf seed on burned plots were much higher than untreated check plots and on most of the chemically treated plots. Yield results would have been much better if conditions had been more favorable. The Research Department of the University of Wyoming expects to continue these tests during 1956. An effort will be made to determine if 100 per cent weed control and particularly dodder control is possible with the stubble burning method. If additional information regarding these tests is required or should you wish to confirm this report, may I direct your inquiry to Mr. F. L. Timmons of the above stated address in Laramie, Wyoming?
