Winter is a perfect times to evaluate weed management programs. After all, uncontrolled weeds can have a staggering effect on corn yields.

A weed control program needs maximum application flexibility to tackle winter and spring annual weeds in winter wheat. “Timing continues to be an important consideration in weed management,” says Dallas Peterson, Extension weed specialist, Kansas State University. “Properly timed weed control improves herbicide efficacy, protects yield and reduces future infestations.” These three tips from Peterson […]

Getting a grip on weeds in wheat can be a major issue for many growers, but a new product from Arysta LifeScience aims to change the game. The global agricultural company recently introduced EVEREST 3.0 Herbicide, a patent-pending formulation with built-in safener technology. The new carrier technology in the patent-pending EVEREST 3.0 formulation helps growers […]

Whether the concern this year was Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, or giant ragweed, farmers can implement helpful practices to control herbicide-resistant weeds in the future. Mark Bernards, associate professor of agronomy at Western Illinois University says the two best ways to delay, or prevent, herbicide resistance is to apply herbicide mixtures that have active ingredients effective […]

Corn, soybean, and wheat growers in the U.S. have a new solution against resistant weeds — Zidua SC (Suspension Concentrate) herbicide from BASF. Zidua SC herbicide offers the same long-lasting weed control as Zidua herbicide, but in an improved SC liquid formulation. Labeled for corn, cotton, peanuts, soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat, Zidua SC helps growers […]

If farmers could no longer control weeds with existing herbicides, American consumers would take notice pretty quickly.

Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, lambsquarters, nightshade, and foxtails beware — DuPont Crop Protecion has released a new tank mix herbicide for soybean growers. DuPont EverpreX herbicide is designed to provide extended residual control of ALS-, PPO- and/or glyphosate resistant weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, and other pigweed species. “In the battle against resistant weeds, EverpreX is […]

Growers should be watching out for Palmer Amaranth, a weed that has been rapidly spreading north in the U.S. and is likely to be Glyphosate resistant. “Now is the time to scout for Palmer Amaranth,” said Paul O. Johnson, SDSU Extension Weed Science Coordinator. “In most cases, Palmer Amaranth should be about fully grown which […]

Controlling weeds is becoming increasingly difficult. Using multiple modes of action is vital to control current weed pressure while limiting the development of herbicide resistance that can cause heavier pressure in future years. To accomplish this, growers must make timely herbicide applications: A burndown or tillage to start with a clean field. This spring, although […]
