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.
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.

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.
