I'm working with an organic dairy farmer who's having a problem with
jimson weed. She's interested in learning more about cultivating at
night to inhibit weed seeds from germining. I saw some test plots of
night cultivation at Cornell. Searched the web but can't find any info.
on this or any other work being done. Any information on night
cultivation or other ideas for organic control of jimson weed (this is
in silage corn) would be appreciated. Thanks, Lisa Krall
