Critical Time for Weed Removal in Corn and Soybean is Delayed by PRE-Herbicides
January 9, 2019
Understanding the critical time for weed removal in corn and soybean would not only ensure effective weed removal and minimize unnecessary weed control inputs, but could potentially help minimize the development of herbicide resistance in weeds.
The Importance of Early Season Weed Control
January 9, 2019
Do early season weeds have the same impact as later season flushes? Researchers here report on a 2018 study conducted in dry bean to compare how soon after planting crop yield was impacted by weed presence.
Effects of Dicamba Micro-Rates on Yields of Non-Dicamba Soybeans
January 9, 2019
This study looks at the sensitivity of non-DT soybean types (Conventional, Liberty Link, and Roundup Ready) to micro-rate applications of Clarity, Engenia, and XtendiMax at several growth stages.
Palmer Amaranth Control in Dry Bean
January 14, 2019
Residual herbicides applied at or before planting are critically important to controlling emerged Palmer amaranth in dry bean. Research at the Panhandle REC assessed the efficacy of PRE and pre-plant incorporated (PPI) residual herbicide programs.
Research Report: Prevalence and Mechanism of Atrazine Resistance in Waterhemp from Nebraska
October 26, 2018
Researchers studied waterhemp populations in eastern Nebraska to evaluate the efficacy of PRE and POST herbicide applications and the mechanism of atrazine resistance. Here's what they found and take-home messages to apply to your operation.
Management of Glyphosate-Resistant Marestail in Fall
October 25, 2018
For successful marestail management in the fall, apply herbicides after harvest while weather conditions remain favorable (air temperature above 50°F). Effective control now may negate the need for an early spring burndown application.
