Abstract

Patterns of weed emergence in upland and lowland soils were observed for several months after tillage by counting all emerged species. Forty to 50% of weed emergence occurred within 6 weeks of tillage on both sites. Significant emergence occurred within 3 weeks on both sites, but very little emergence occurred within 1 week in lowland soil. The data confirm the strong influence of soil tillage on weed emergence. They also suggest an influence of radiant energy on weed emergence. Peaks of weed emergence 6 or more weeks after tillage often occurred coincident with or soon after peaks of radiant energy.
