Metribuzin-tolerance Screening of Selected Soybean Cultivars

🕔09:25, 1.Mar 2012

For many years, one of the mainstay residual herbicides in soybean weed control systems was metribuzin (Sencor/Lexone). One of the drawbacks to metribuzin use is the sensitivity of some soybean varieties to this herbicide. A research project conducted by Mississippi State University and the University of Arkansas screened some of the modern germplasms available to producers for metribuzin tolerance.

Mixing Issues with Gramoxone Inteon

Mixing Issues with Gramoxone Inteon

🕔10:26, 27.May 2011

Many producers have utilized paraquat, sold under the trade name Gramoxone Inteon®, to control emerged weeds at planting. Often times a chemical manufacturer will modify a herbicide formulation to create a safer, more stable, and/or effective herbicide. However, a recent formulation change in Gramoxone Inteon has resulted in some mixing issues in some parts of Mississippi.

Control Emerged Pigweed Prior to Planting Soybean

Control Emerged Pigweed Prior to Planting Soybean

🕔10:59, 8.Apr 2011

Soybean planting is underway in many parts of the Delta and I have already received a number of calls about pigweed already being emerged in some fields. It is absolutely imperative that these emerged pigweeds are controlled prior to planting. Early weed competition can significantly impact soybean yields not to mention we don’t have many options to control emerged pigweed in soybean.

Ground Speed Affects Spray Droplet Deposition

Ground Speed Affects Spray Droplet Deposition

🕔14:20, 11.Mar 2011

As producers prepare for spray applications this growing season, it is imperative to consider proper spray nozzle selection. As ground speed increases, the orifice size of the nozzle must be increased to maintain the desired GPA. A larger orifice naturally produces larger droplets which equates to poor coverage with contact herbicides. With this in mind, it is recommended to make spray applications at a reasonable ground speed that allows for the use of a spray nozzle that will produce a medium droplet size conducive for contact herbicides.
