Test results from two sites in the Pacific Northwest confirm the development of glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass.

With more than 40 different glyphosate compounds on the market this year, it’s not always easy to decipher the critical differences.

With no-tillers keenly interested in trimming costs, many readers are taking a closer look at the variety of generic herbicides on the market.

No-tillers can choose from a number of corn herbicides and fungicides that have become available since the last growing season. The new products for this year, listed by manufacturer, include:<

When it comes to effective weed control, timing is always critical. But it is particularly important when you are using a total post program since dead weeds with late spraying can still trim your yields.

It may prove difficult for some folks to believe, but recent University of Nebraska research work indicates that glyphosate applications may result in fluctuations in the nitrogen status of Roundup Ready soybeans.

While there's been considerable talk among no-tillers about weed resistance to glyphosate products, Bryan Young says early signs point to the development of serious problems.

Low-interest loans — perhaps even interest free with the possibility of partial payment of the principal by the federal government might be obtainable through a program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency.

When it comes to weed control, more no-tillers each year are having problems dealing with dandelions. Ohio State University weed scientists Anthony Dobbels, Mark Loux and Jeff Stachler say that dandelions have become much more widespread in Ohio crop production fields over the past 5 years.

An item in the October, 2003, issue on the proper order of tankmixing glyphosate products led to a comment from a No-Till Farmer reader in North Dakota. He informed us that research conducted at North Dakota State indicates that the efficacy of Roundup herbicide is not affected by the order in which it is mixed with water and ammonium sulfate (AMS).
