Knowing what weeds are causing problems and understanding that in some cases multiple trips across the field for better weed control during the growing season might be more economical in the long run, in order to ultimately protect and improve crop yields.
In the Spring, growers may experience challenges when controlling winter annuals weeds or terminating cover crops with glyphosate-based burndown herbicide programs, specifically when glyphosate is sprayed in cool, cloudy weather conditions.
Residual herbicide considerations in the burndown during droughty periods, spraying during windy conditions, and problems with spraying near vineyards and sensitive areas.
Dry weather can affect both soil-applied and postemergence herbicide performance. All soil-applied herbicides require rainfall to mobilize them for effective weed control.
Dandelion infestations are becoming more common in farm fields, most likely due to oversimplification of herbicide programs, omission of residual herbicides and delaying burndown in the spring. Follow these tips from Ohio State University Extension to get control of dandelion outbreaks this year.
Fluctuating spring weather can make spraying burndown herbicides challenging for many farmers. These resources from Penn State University Extension may help improve burndown performance.
As fall temperatures will continue to drop, it is important for growers to decide as soon as possible about applying herbicides this fall, says University of Nebraska Extension.
