With planting hopefully right around the corner, many people are thinking about using Gramoxone (paraquat) as a last minute burndown for its effectiveness and lack of replant interval.  Gramoxone is a very good broad spectrum herbicide that is “money” on many winter annual broadleaf weeds and also quite good on poa.  On the main winter annual weed horseweed (marestail) though, control can range from 30 to 90%.  The question is why?  So we conducted research this spring to see if time of day Gramoxone is applied has an effect on horseweed control.

It is raining as I write and the forecast is not optimistic about getting much done in the field this week. As soon as it dries corn planting will take priority along with some early soybean planting.

I have written a couple of pieces on fomesafen carryover into grain sorghum. I emphasized fomesafen because it is used on almost all soybean acres in Tennessee.  However, I would be remiss if I did not add that some other herbicides commonly used in soybean have lengthy plant backs to grain sorghum as well.  Continue reading →

There have been a number of calls this spring on weed control in conventional soybean.  This is not new as calls on weed control in conventional soybeans have been more frequent the last two years.  Typically the weed spectrum that is the main issue with these calls is not Palmer amaranth but cocklebur and sicklepod.  Continue reading →
