As spring approaches, forage weeds can become a problem. Certain herbicides can be applied but timing is critical.

Tripzin ZC is a patented pre-mix that combines two active ingredients, metribuzin and pendimethalin.

Due diligence with scouting and spraying has paid off for veteran no-tillers Darren and Jim Nelson in beating back challenges from marestail and Palmer amaranth. What’s your weed control plan this year?

Given the commodity price on wheat, one option for controlling henbit is metribuzin, says University of Tennessee.

We have fielded a number of calls from folks who believe they are seeing more metribuzin injury on wheat this fall than in previous years. I rated metribuzin tolerance in a number of county wheat trials scattered across West Tennessee to help address this question.

Research over the last couple of years has shown that two shot burndown programs which include either 2 shots in the spring or fall plus spring burndown treatments are needed in areas with a history of poor marestail control due to glyphosate and ALS herbicide resistance.

Several years ago a dealer commented to me that he didn’t know why he would ever need to recommend metribuzin to a grower.

Wet weather and delayed planting have several effects on no-till burndown programs, especially in soybeans.
