Early planting gives soybeans a competitive edge in capturing light and moisture over problematic weeds like marestail, which thrive in no-till and reduced-tillage environments.
In areas of the country that have had plenty of moisture, KSU weed management specialists offer advice on controlling tall weeds in wheat stubble ahead of fall wheat planting.
There is still time to ensure your soybean weed control programs worked by scouting those full-season soybeans for escapes and by selecting effective herbicides to control weeds in double-crop soybeans.
The wet season has delayed crop development and post-emergence herbicide applications in many soybean fields, and there are some large giant ragweed waiting to be treated.
Palmer amaranth, kochia, marestail, you name it — populations of glyphosate-resistant weeds are popping up more frequently, and it looks like no-tillers are taking note of it.
There’s no doubt that much of the rapid increase in no-tilled acres over the past 20 years is due to the extensive use of glyphosate-resistant corn and soybeans. Yet, extensive reliance on this single herbicide mode of action may be holding back the future growth of no-till. Even more worrisome is the impact it could have on simply maintaining the no-till acres we already have.
