INSTRUCTIONS
PLANNING AND APPLICATION RECORD
FOR STUBBLE MULCHING
Field Number or Name-Field designation as shown on the Conservation Plan Map.
Acres-From the Conservation Plan Map.
Soil of Major Hazard-The major soil of the field, or the soil of greatest hazard if it is more
significant to the field than the major soil.
Wind Erodibility Soil Group (WEG)-Determined by soils from Guide for Determining Adequate
Wind Erosion Control Systems (Guide) for the Work Unit or County location of the field.
Width of Exposure-The furthest distance the prevailing wind travels over the vulnerable part
of the field.
• Specifications-Determined by use of appropriate Soil Loss tables from the Guide. This is
'determined in pounds of flat small grain residue equivalent. (If crops other than small
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
of Flat Small Grain Stubble from the Guide.)
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.

G. Planning Considerations
1 . Subsurface tillage equipment such as sweeps, blades and
rodweeders should be used for most tillage operations.
2. Chemical weed control to reduce the number of tillage operations
is beneficial in managing the residue.
3. Reducing field widths is an effective way to reduce the need for
large amounts of crop residue.
4. When inadequate residue is produced the soil surface will be
ridged by chiseling or listing.
II. Non—Irrigated Sorghums
A. Pounds of residue required through the critical wind erosion period
(November-May).

spacing of 20" or less
2. Forage sorghum on 100011
20" - 40" rows
3. Grain sorghum on 150011
20" - 40" rows
When the above residue requirements are met, the practice will be considered
adequate to hold the soil loss to the acceptable "T" level.
B. Planning Considerations
1 . The above amounts of residue will be left on the soil surface
through May or until spring seedbed preparation which usually
occurs in early April. Spring seedbed preparation should result
in a ridged surface for wind erosion protection.
2. When inadequate residue is produced the soil surface will be
ridged by chiseling or listing. Soils coarser than sandy loam
usually require listing to provide satisfactory surface
roughness.
3. Grazing will be restricted on machine harvested crops when
marginal amounts of residue are produced.

of residue until the planted crop has enough growth to protect
the soil.
2. Gravity Irrigated Row Crops - Maintain the required amounts of
residue as long as feasible after harvest. The cropping system
and method of irrigation are to be considered. If fall plowing
destroys the residue, the field will be left rough and cloddy
until spring seedbed preparation, (about March 1st as a
minimum).

D. On systems where tillage operations are permitted:
1. Subsurface tillage equipment should be used to keep the residue on
the soil surface.
2. On soils that tend to crust, or with some slope to them, a chisel
type implement may need to be used after harvest to increase water
infiltration and reduce soil loss due to runoff.
3. 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. Limit summer
tillage operations.

1 . Conventional tillage operations will not be used to control volun-
teer crop growth or annual forbs and grasses. On soils with a heavy
clay or silty surface that tend to seal, a light crust breaking may
be needed using sweeps or a chisel using straight shanks.
a. Wheat-fallow (chemical only) - Use of chemicals to eliminate
tillage operations. The following is required:
( 1) Contact herbicides, such as Paraquat or Roundup, plus
atrazine or residual and tank mixes such as atrazine-Bladex
and atrazine-Igran shall be applied immediately following
harvest to kill existing weeds and give long—term weed
control.
(2) A short residual herbicide may be used for spring applica—
tion if necessary to control weeds to substitute for
tillage operations normally used.
(3) A slot or no—till planter or grain drill shall be used that
will disturb not more than 25% of the soil surface.
b. Corn, sorghum, and small grains (chemical only) . Use of chemi—
cals to eliminate tillage operations in irrigated cropland or
annual cropping systems. The following is required:
(1) A contact herbicide plus Bladex, Igran or other short
residual (45-60 days) may be used for spring application if
needed to control weeds to eliminate early spring and early
summer tillage.
(2) A slot or no-till planter or adequate grain drill shall be
used that will disturb not more than 25% of the soil
surface.
(3) Atrazine may be used in a wheat-sorghum-fallow or a wheat-
corn-fallow sequence.
F. Farmers must be made aware of the hazards involved in using residual
herbicides.

329-4-Conservation Tillage System
1 . Caution must be exercised in use of atrazine on soils with a pH of
7.5 or higher.
2. Caution should be taken when applying long residual herbicides
annually so no overlap or carry-over effect of chemical occurs.
3 . A minimum of 20 gallons of water, preferably 30, will he needed to
get adequate coverage of chemical.
4 . For more uniform application, large volume sprayers with wide stable
boom coverage are preferred over small units with narrow coverage.
The wider swath should result in fewer overlaps or skips. Dust
should be held to a minimum as it deactivates some herbicides.
Nozzle spacing should not be greater than 40 inches for uniform
distribution.
G. Specific chemical recommendations shall be in accordance with container
labels and/or Colorado Weed Control Handbook.
Trade names were used in this standard only to make the information more
