Experts with the Weed Science Society of America say one often-ignored strategy for controlling herbicide-resistant weeds is now getting a second look. Farmers are finding success by ensuring that weed seeds remaining in the field at harvest time aren’t dispersed and left to sprout in subsequent growing seasons.

Fertilization strategy for strip-tillers can vary greatly, depending on when strips are built, soil type and health, and climate.

During visits with strip-tillers, it's not often that I'll talk with someone who claims they have perfected the practice. Strip-till is constantly evolving and farmers tend to evolve right along with it, whether it's tweaking machinery, refining a fertility program or incorporating new technology.
