Herbicide Options for Managing Glyphosate-resistant Common Ragweed in LibertyLink Soybean
March 1, 2018
Results from a 2017 weed management trial on glyphosate-resistant ragweed indicated two applications were often more efficient and cost effective than either three applications or one application of herbicide.
Preplant Tillage to Manage Glyphosate-resistant Common Ragweed
February 13, 2018
Nebraska university weed scientists conducted research in 2017 to identify the effect of preplant tillage on weed emergence in an effort to develop an integrated weed management plan to control glyphosate-resistant weeds. Here's what they found.
Cover Crop Mixture Diversity and Function
November 30, 2016
Do cover crop mixtures perform better than monoculture plantings? This overview looks at a research study using various plantings of 18 cover crop species, both in monoculture and combination plantings, to examine biomass production as well as the effect of the different plantings on weed suppression, soil nutrient retention, or soil microbial biomass.
