When it comes to any recent discovery about soybean diseases, chances are three researchers have found it. These top-notch no-till researchers have done extensive digging and testing on what no-tillers can do to protect their valuable no-till soybeans from the devastating effects of diseases.
With the 1999 planting season right around the corner, no-tillers are finalizing no-till weed control strategies. And with many new compounds coming on the market, it’s no easy task.
To help the 660 attendees at the mid-January National No-Tillage Conference in St. Louis make critical decisions on controlling weeds and insects in no-tilled corn for 1999, technical representatives from American Cyanamid, Zeneca Ag Products and Monsanto outlined new compounds and label changes.
After attending a number of no-till meetings and conferences, Blair, Neb., no-tiller Tim Andersen knew weeds could be conquered with plenty of good planning before no-tilling.
