Despite the increase in glyphosate resistance cases, glyphosate has a relatively low incidence of resistance evolution compared to other herbicides.

The latest re-registration is underway for metaldehyde and Lonza has decided to let corn and soybeans drop from the label.

Purdue weed scientist's with the assistance of Purdue extension educators and various agricultural industry reps have identified corn and soybean fields in northwestern Indiana that have Palmer amaranth infestations.

A study published this week by Washington State University research professor Charles Benbrook finds that the use of herbicides in the production of three genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops — cotton, soybeans and corn — has actually increased.

After a severe wind storm moved through northern Iowa in early September, Cresco, Iowa, strip-tiller Frank Moore decided to get a better look.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the use of foliar (leaf) fungicide treatments.

While the near-record warm winter will cause some insects to appear earlier than normal, whether the bugs negatively impact field crops will depend on spring weather, insect variety and planting dates, says an Ohio State University Extension entomologist.

After years of experimenting with equipment, soil tests, inputs and other areas, Schlapkohl has found a “U-Trough approach” that has him on track for reaching a 300-bushel-per-acre corn average.
