Would you mind describing this system with all pertinent info on tillage,
equipment & how it is used, shemicals, fertilizers, soil amendments and
plant material? You may have done this here in the past - maybe you can
copy/paste some previous dialog into a reply. I would be really curious to
see if I can come up with any alternatives to herbicides you may use for
crop knock-down or weed control.
It seems to me that with the following tractor-drawn implements available
herbicides would be unnecessary and a more natural system would be allowed
to flourish and develop which may in itself lead to greater production and
less weeds:
Soil Saver and/or conventional chisel plow
large rototiller/rotavator (i.e. Howard Rotavator)
Yeomans plow and tillage systems (there's dealer in Pennsylvania)
hilling discs
homebrew tillage/weed control equipment
and lastly: multishank subsoilers and bottom plows
