Legal and regulatory scrutiny continues to proliferate for popular herbicides such as Roundup, paraquat and dicamba. In fact, bans of certain herbicides by some European countries and food industry giants could be harbingers for what no-tillers will face in the future as crop production faces increased scrutiny, says Steve Groff.

The longtime Holtwood, Pa., no-tiller and cover crop producer will go over some alternative weed control strategies he’s seen in the field, including using cover crops and roller-crimpers, as well as other mechanical innovations, that can help growers extend the life of the herbicides on their farm and improve their effectiveness.
