An easy-to-use Herbicide Classification chart has been developed by Take Action Against Herbicide Resistant Weeds group to help farmers identify which herbicide belongs to which site of action.
If weeds are growing in defined tracks, that could indicate that the seeds have landed there from a combine that had the weed seeds riding on it from a previous harvest in an infested field.
A study found that pre-emergence herbicide treatments combined with a post-emergence herbicide applied 3-4 weeks afterwards delivered 94% or greater control of Palmer amaranth and waterhemp.
Since most winter weed fall emergence is completed by early November, says University of Nebraska Extension, it’s important for no-tillers to decide now if they want to apply an herbicide.
The University of Illinois will be retrofitting the Harrington Seed Destructor to see how effective the Australian tool is at destroying waterhemp seed during harvest.
Using herbicides that differ in the ways they kill weeds goes a long way to battling herbicide resistance, according to Iowa State University agronomists.
