Problems caused by unfavorable conditions this season have resulted in greater than normal weed escapes. While there are no simple answers, in most situations, late-season herbicide applications will not likely be effective and are not warranted, according to Iowa State University.

Applications made prior to planting increase the consistency of control of these weeds, particularly horseweed.

Herbicide resistant weeds are an increasing challenge for farmers and Dr. John Nowatzki and a team of researchers at North Dakota St. University Extension are launching a new grant-funder program to identify and evaluate weeds in different crops to ultimately provide better detection and weed management.

An NDSU weed scientist makes recommendations for chemical control of Palmer amaranth.

As we proceed through the growing season, there are a few issues surrounding weed control and herbicide use. This article introduces some to consider.

Weeds are relentless year after year, leading farmers, retailers and agronomists across the Midwest to find new ways to control difficult and herbicide-resistant weeds in corn and soybean fields.

In total, HELM now has 19 crop protection products in its U.S. portfolio for the row crop, specialty crop and horticultural markets.

When it comes to crop production, averages don’t work as a guide for fertilizing and controlling weeds or pests. If a grower collects data and then uses averages as a guide, the field will be over-fertilized in some places and under-fertilized in others.

The 2016 Washington State University Weed Control Report, summarizing results from field studies conducted in winter wheat, spring wheat, chemical fallow, grasslands, alfalfa, chickpeas, and dry pea, is now available.

Cover crops may be able to suppress weeds in some cases, but that’s just one consideration producers should take into account when selecting cover crops for their farm fields, says Kansas State University Extension.
