Soybean damage from application of micro-rates of dicamba pesticide.

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.

Get a Free 2018 Guide to Pest Management in Nebraska

November 28, 2018

Copies of the 2018 Nebraska Extension Guide for Weed, Disease, and Insect Management in Nebraska are being made available free to make room for the 2019 Guide. Here's how to order yours.

Choosing the right herbicide for the job and practicing patience and persistance were key to success. (Photos by Stevan Knezevic)

Research Update: Control of Perennial Invasive Weeds Requires Repeated Herbicide Applications

June 4, 2018

Research shows the need for patience and persistence when battling perennial weeds such as purple loosestrife over multiple years. The younger the stand the faster the control was achieved.

Considerations for Postemergence Dicamba-based Herbicide Applications to Corn

May 31, 2018

With postemergence herbicide applications occurring to corn, consider these best management practices to improve results and reduce the potential for off-target injury from your dicamba application.

Study: Efficacy of Herbicides in Buckbrush Control

May 22, 2018

A two-year weed management study in northeast Nebraska evaluated herbicide options for controlling buckbrush, a common perennial weed in Nebraska pastures and rangeland. One herbicide provided year-round control, while several others provided season-long control.

Research Findings on Chemical Control of Cottonwood

May 22, 2018

Cottonwood offers many benefits, but also can be an invasive and difficult-to-control weed. Nebraska researchers studied control efficacy of eight herbicides over two years and found three products provided total control more than a year; however, they also noted a caution for areas with high water tables.

Preemergence Herbicides Delayed the Critical Time for Weed Removal in Soybean

May 16, 2018

Researchers tested two herbicide strategies in soybean to see how preemergence herbicides would delay the critical time of weed removal, likely reducing the number of herbicide applications needed in a season.

Field photos of the three herbicide treatments tested. — Figure 1. Three herbicide treatments were applied to determine whether a pre-emergence herbicide affected the critical period of weed control. From left, the plots show: 1) Corn at V12 that had not received a pre-emergence herbicide; 2) corn at V12 that received an atrazine treatment; corn at V12 that received an Acuron treatment

Preemergence Herbicides Influence the Critical Period for Weed Removal in Roundup Ready Corn

May 11, 2018

Researchers tested three preemergence herbicide strategies in Roundup-Ready Corn to identify how their application affected the critical period of weed control — the period when weed control is essential to avoid yield loss.
