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.
For many years, no-till farmers have used Aim (carfentrazone) and Sharpen (saflufenacil) either just prior to planting or after planting to control emerged kochia and other annual weeds.

Ranging from planting equipment to cover crop seed, to precision technology to crop protection tools, no-tillers deemed the following 13 products the best in their respective categories for 2015.
