Competitive Effects of Sicklepod on Lima Beans

Abstract: Sicklepod (Cassia obtusifoliaL. ♯ CASOB) was planted at six densities (0 to 39.4/m2) and six durations of competition (0 to 10 weeks after seeding) in lima beans (Phaseolus lunatusL. cv. ‘Jackson Wonder’). The yield of green lima beans was inversely proportional to the density of sicklepod. In general, weed densities at 2.7 to 10.8 sicklepod/m2did not significantly reduce yields, but higher populations frequently did. The average yields generally decreased if the duration of competition exceeded six weeks.

“…Weed management is critical to maintaining lima bean yields and quality. An 18% lima bean yield loss was documented over a 3-yr period with 2.7 sicklepod (Senna obtusifolia L.) plants/m 2 (Glaze and Mullinix 1984).…”

“…Its prolific growth in a tilled situation (3) makes it a very competitive weed in most row crops. Sicklepod adversely affects yield in cotton, peanut, soybean, and lima bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (4,7,8,17,19). Soybean seed yield may be reduced with only two sicklepod plants per m or row (16).…”

“…Numerous studies have documented the ability of weeds to markedly reduce dry, white and pinto bean yield and quality and to interfere with harvest operations (Blackshaw, 1991;Blackshaw and Esau, 1991;Arnold et al, 1993;Wall, 1993;Woolley et al, 1993;Zollinger and Kells 1993;Chikoye et al, 1995;Urwin et al, 1996;Burnside et al, 1998). An 18% lima bean yield loss was documented over a 3-yr period with 2.7 sicklepod (Senna obtusifolia L.) plants/m 2 (Glaze and Mullinix, 1984). Sankula et al (1999) recorded up to 30% yield loss with common cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.), ivyleaf morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea (L.) Jacq.…”
