Weeds
As weed escapes seem to become more prevalent, and the debate over herbicides continues to run rampant, John Phipps thinks the best weed fighting tool may come in the form of iron.
With a decision still reverberating through farm country, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit vacated three over-the-top dicamba registrations. Now, plaintiffs have set their sights on Enlist Duo herbicide.
As farmers wait for the 9th Circuit Court’s next move, plaintiffs in the dicamba case say EPA going against the court and issuing its own guidance proves EPA is working for chemical companies, not farmers.
Today on Farm Journal Live: the latest on the court decision rescinding the label for dicamba from Sonja Begemann and Ken Ferrie and an update on China trade from Senator Chuck Grassley.
On the heels of the decision to remove registrations for Engenia, FeXapan and XtendiMax herbicides, states—and ultimately, farmers are waiting for EPA to provide guidance.
Mother Nature always allows weed seeds to find a way, even without human help. Whether it’s wind, water or even ducks and geese, weeds will find their way.
This year, best management practices, hyper-vigilance and a zero-tolerance policy for escapes will be critical to get ahead of weed seed banks. Have a plan, and several backup plans, ready ahead of planting.
Thursday the Missouri Department of Agriculture changed the Special Local Needs labels for new dicamba products.
Wednesday the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it would renew the label for over-the-top use of dicamba in soybeans and cotton through 2020.
The monster of a weed defies odds, but it isn’t running rampant yet
BASF and its licensee partners are rolling out LL-GT27 soybean trait in a variety of maturities and varieties this year across the U.S.
The Palmer amaranth plants the Agriculture Department’s team found here were quickly burned using propane torches, before they could go to seed.
It’s no secret that weeds are a farmer’s enemy—but which weeds pose the biggest threat? The Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) recently deployed a survey to nearly 200 weed scientist across North America to find out more about weeds in farmers’ fields.

Herbicide resistance trends show using multiple modes of action is increasingly critical
As glyphosate resistance stretches across the U.S. the need for alternative chemistries is at an all-time high. Your corn fields are likely better off than your soybeans fields because most troublesome resistant weeds are post emergent broadleaves that can often be controlled by herbicides used in corn production systems.
Researchers have discovered that waterhemp, and possibly other weeds don’t respond to rotating herbicides each year as they originally thought.
By partnering with Planet, aerospace and data analytics company, Farmers Edge will offer satellite images more frequently—every one to three days.

Identify Palmer amaranth presence to better manage for herbicide resistance
On each herbicide label, companies specify active ingredients and sites of action alike. Note, each herbicide active ingredient falls into a specific site of action and the two are not the same classification and should not be treated as such.
About two years. That’s all the time you have to prove to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) you and your neighbors will follow new dicamba formulation label requirements, or the agency could let its approval expire at the end of 2018.

To date, several dozen states have the green light from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use of the new dicamba formulations, BASF Engenia and Monsanto XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology. Monsanto has also licensed its product to DuPont, which is marketing it as FeXapan with VaporGrip.
