Abstract
Combinations of grass and legume mulches were planted in growing corn during the fall in 1985 and 1986, and the following spring no-till corn was planted into these living mulches. Mulch treatments consisted of a single species or grass plus legume mixtures. Fluazifop-P, 2,4-D, and atrazine were broadcast applied in late April to suppress the mulches and reduce their competition with corn. Chewings fescue and ladino clover competed least with dryland corn. Weed growth associated with chewings fescue and the ladino clover mulches was similar to that in the conventional disk-plant treatment, but corn yields were lower. Hairy vetch mulch was killed by 2,4-D. The winter rye mulch competed with corn and reduced yield.
