Consider Weed Growth Stage for Optimum Control with Liberty Application
May 23, 2018
Consider these three guidelines to ensure maximum weed control with Liberty in LibertyLink corn and soybean and view a time-lapse video demonstrating how quickly waterhemp regrows when treatment occurs after the optimal weed height of 4 inches or less.
Weed Management and Cover Crop Field Day at SCAL
May 22, 2018
View demonstrations of new technologies and herbicides for weed control in corn, soybeans, and sorghum and cover crops effects on soil health and pest management at the June 27 Weed Management and Cover Crops Field Day. It will be held at the South Central Ag Lab near Clay Center.
Q&A on Spring Herbicides and Fall Cover Crop Plantings
May 14, 2018
Grower question: Can I use a herbicide like Callisto, with mesotrione as its active ingredient, now and plant radishes and turnips for a cover crop in early September?
Residual Herbicides Best Suited to Spring Marestail Management
May 2, 2018
Marestail, also called horseweed, is sensitive to most herbicides labeled for its control early in its growth stage, i.e. the rosette stage. Delaying treatment can allow it to compete with corn and soybean, potentially causing significant yield reduction.
Q&A: Which Dicamba Product Should I Use to Kill Broadleaf Cover Crops or Burndown Weeds Before Xtend Soybean?
April 27, 2018
With a delayed or compressed planting season, this week several growers asked whether they could immediately plant soybeans after a dicamba application. See how Extension Weed Scientist Amit Jhala replied.
Q&A on Terminating Cereal Rye, Applying a PRE
April 25, 2018
A grower asked: My cereal rye cover crop is only 3 to 5 inches tall going into planting season. Can I combine two field operations in one by applying glyphosate to terminate cereal rye and tank-mixing it with a residual herbicide for early season weed control?
Timing of Cover Crop Termination and Related Factors
April 20, 2018
Should the cold spring delay cover crop termination? Growers walk a fine line between growing cover crops long enough to get the biomass they want without reducing yield in the following grain crop. This discussion from an agronomist, entomologist and weed scientist looks at various factors to consider.
How Temperature and Rain Can Affect Burndown Herbicides
April 3, 2020
Finding a good time for burndown herbicide applications has been a little tricky this spring, given the below-normal temperatures the first half of April and intermittent snow and rain, all of which can decrease herbicide efficacy. Checking the forecast can help identify an optimal window for application.
