Corn subjected to heavy rainfall can still deliver a significant yield response to a nitrogen application -- in some cases, up to 60 bu.
As ag retailers continue to navigate a turbulent supply scenario for planting season, FBN says their glyphosate supplies are in a “comfortable” position. The company explains how they were able to secure supplies.
Glyphosate was already in short supply heading into the 2022 planting season, but another black swan event is putting an even tighter squeeze on supplies.
Cover crops may hold the key to fighting weeds, even during the growing season.
Bayer’s Louisiana glyphosate plant is back online, but the glyphosate shortage is industry wide as one Extension weed scientist says growers need to make multiple crop chemistry plans for the next two years.
By digging through the thousands of data sets, a team at the University of Illinois and ARS uncovered it’s not just climate making weed control hard, but late season weed pressure has a devastating impact on corn yield.
EPA and NASDA ring-in on the current dicamba evaluation process while continuing to wave their yellow “caution” flag.
The company says a U.S. judge’s rejection of its class-action proposal will have no impact on its commitment to Roundup or Roundup Ready and their availability for farmers and retailers.
This three-way premix features S-metolachlor, metribuzin and cloransulam-methyl. The formulation controls 70 small- and large-seeded broadleaf weeds and grasses, including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp and lambsquarters.
It’s called the “king of weeds” and can be resistant to common herbicides, but before you can fight it you have to be able to identify it.
Researchers analyzed several factors leading to soybean yield loss in a 26-year herbicide study conducted across the state of Illinois.
Maverick features three modes of action and application flexibility to help growers address tough weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and marestail, and annual grasses.
In order to get ahead of weeds, you need to know what weeds you’re up against. There are several weed identifying apps available, but how accurate are they? Researchers at MSU have the answers.
Three dozen cameras evenly spaced across a 120’ boom use artificial intelligence to target and spray weeds, cutting herbicide use by up to 80% and improving weed control
Sprayers are being outfitted with new products and configured in new ways to make applications quicker, cheaper and more precise.
As planting season quickly approaches, weeds are plotting their own entrance to the fields. Often an afterthought, experts say smooth bedstraw is a weed to keep an eye on.
If death by hammer blow at 2,700 rpm is the best way to kill weed seed at harvest, then make way for the Seed Terminator (ST).
With supply chain disruptions, what investments are you considering to ensure you have the inputs and flexibility you need?
Stakeholders from the machinery, chemical and research sectors want to develop a sustainable policy for U.S. agriculture.
When Mikey Taylor broke the century mark with dicamba-tolerant soybeans, yielding over 100 bu. per acre, he did so in straight-laced fashion, in direct contrast to the dicamba debacle of 2016.
Illegal use of dicamba was a devil in 2016 and begs the question: With EPA’s labeling approvals on new dicamba formulations, how might the off-target scenario play out in 2017?
A robotic pigweed killer may provide a 90% reduction in chemical use, maintenance of tractor speed at 6 mph, and the polar opposite of broadcast spraying.
Cotton isn’t king in Kansas, but it’s a fine prince for many Jayhawk growers, boosted by the arrival of new 2,4-D technology.
If it’s green, it goes. A new weed technology uses a combination of infrared, sensors and nozzles to detect plants and aim a blast of herbicide at a spot the size of a nickel. WEEDit is an automatic plant detection technology that allows chemical application solely to green matter, rather than spraying bare dirt, all while the sprayer rolls at 15 mph, light of day or dark of night.
Reducing herbicide usage by 97% in pre-emergence and 88% in post-emergence spraying, Greeneye Technology might be the ‘next-big-thing’ in sprayer technology.
EPA said there was little risk to most people from exposure to dicamba, though it identified six additional instances in which workers handling the herbicide should wear a respirator along with the required outfit.
An Oregon case marks the latest in a long line of lawsuits the company has had to contend with in the past few years. Most of the 138,000 cases have come out of the U.S. residential lawn and garden marketplace.
Experts say using less herbicide, or cutting the rate of product per acre, isn’t a good solution.
Post-emergent herbicide supplies can be harder to find this year. Industry professionals recommend making a plan and considering a new approach to weed management to get ahead this growing season.
Auxin herbicides are devastating to sensitive crops, know your risk.
