In light of dicamba drift issues, Dr. Steckel recommends using a PPO herbicide as a follow-up application in Xtend soybeans. Recent research has found that a sequential PPO application is very effective in controlling Palmer amaranth that survives an earlier dicamba application. Watch as he walks you through the study.
Dr. Steckel tells you what you can see at the Weed Tour this Wednesday (6/21/17) at the West Tennessee AgResearch & Education Center.
In just the past few days, dicamba drift has been reported on Tennessee farms. As temperatures rise, so does the potential for increased off-target movement of dicamba. Watch as Larry Steckel discusses three actions to reduce drift and volatilization.
