[Video] Applying Integrated Weed Management in Strip-Till Systems

When asked by a crop consultant toinvestigate herbicide-resistant waterhemp in Dodge County, Wis., Dr. Rodrigo Werle and his research team discovered that label-rate applications of PPO herbicides just weren’t getting the job done. As an associate professor and extension cropping systems weed scientist at the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, Werle’s research focuses heavily on integrated approaches to weed management in corn, soybeans and small grains.

During this classroom session, Werle analyzes data about the effectiveness of cereal rye and pre-emergence herbicides for waterhemp management in no-till corn and soybean systems, and explains how to apply the findings to your strip-till operation.

You’ll Learn: The amount of cereal rye biomass needed for optimal weed suppression, how to prevent weed seeds from spreading and options to keep strip-till fields clean without losing yield.
