ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for controlling the growth of unwanted plants, such as weeds, volunteer plants, and the like, which project upwardly from a cultivated crop growing in a field, comprises providing an agricultural vehicle having a cutting bar thereon. The cutting bar is positioned at an elevation slightly above the uppermost portion of the crop, and the agricultural vehicle is piloted over the field, thereby cutting the upwardly projecting portions of the unwanted plants at a point thereon slightly above the uppermost portion of the crop, thereby arresting the growth of the unwanted plants, and facilitating the mechanical harvesting of the crop.
