(If crops other than small on 4 grains are grown, this figure must be converted to the grown crop by use of the Chart to Determine the Amount of Residue of Various Crops Needed to Equal a Given Amount U of Flat Small Grain Stubble from the Guide.) o o rn Application-This becomes a record by years of each field at planting time, or other appropriate time such as the late fall when new growth has reached its maximum before going dor- mant for the winter. Enter the amount of all residues on the soil surface, whether fallowed or tilled, or of stubble standing from the previous crop. This should be con- verted to flat small grain stubble equivalent. If a part of a field is cropped and the remainder is fallowed, residue amounts should be entered from both areas. OIL EROSION 1`::CTC .

Chemicals may be used to aid in reducing or eliminating tillage operations. Use manufacturers labels or Colorado Weed Control Handbook for specific rate recommendations. The following options are recommended. a. Fall sweep (4 inches deep) plus Atrazine. Fall sweep immediately (within two weeks) after wheat harvest to kill existing vegetation. Atrazine applied immediately following fall sweep will kill volunteer wheat and weeds until the next summer. Limit summer tillage operations prior to planting. b. Apply a combination of non-selective contact or non-residual herbicides (such as Paraquat or Roundup) plus Atrazine to kill existing weeds and for long-term weed control.
