makes clean tillage hazardous. Each little broken piece of root or stem promptly becomes
another thriving plant when moisture conditions so decree. Dealing with this weed means
structuring a proper decay system in the soil, one that invites actinomycetes and several
other species of molds, acidiomycetes included. In order to endure, these beneficial molds
must have a well-aerated soil and adequate calcium.
No one seems to have trouble identifying quackgrass. Spikelets are pendulous, glumes
smooth, lemmata with stiff brown hairs at the base. Copper, manganese, soft rock phos-
phate, vitamin B12, calcium, molasses, soil aeration and use of sulfates in some areas will
reduce or eliminate this weed, the recipe to be determined by scanner. Potassium chloride,
sterile soil conditions and compaction help this weed proliferate.
