Starting weed-free (also known as “starting clean”) means planting into fields without emerged weeds, which provides the crop with the best chance to establish early and compete with weeds.

Weeds in a field destined for alfalfa planting survived both Enlist and Roundup applications. So the farmer hired a moldboard plow to tackle the issue. What would you have done? Is this avoidable?

Now that row crop harvest is underway and fall moisture has been received, it is time to start planning your fall herbicide applications to control winter annual broadleaf weeds and grasses ahead of grain sorghum or corn, says Kansas State University Extension.

Conditions are not always conducive to getting optimal postemergence weed control. The wet weather in many areas this spring may cause weeds in some fields to get larger than you intended.

With the price of Gramoxone getting cut by about half this winter, Ohio State University Extension encourages growers to include it in their burndown this spring, especially on marestail.

Penn State Extension shares whether it’s too late to control perennials, marestail or chickweed and some herbicide options.

University of Illinois Extension warns that current expectations of what this technology can accomplish tend to be a bit more optimistic than what the technology will actually be able to deliver.

Since marestail can germinate throughout much of the year, a single herbicide application probably won’t provide season-long control, particularly in no-till.

Ohio State University Extension explains what options growers have in controlling marestail in wheat stubble if they plan on seeding cover crops later this summer.
