[Ken Smith standing in a soybean field showing plants and pigweeds]
A common practice in our soybean
production has been plant our soybeans get a good stand and then come in a spray
with Round-up. That’s worked very effectively until we’ve got Round-Up resistant
pigweed.
Palmer Amaranth that is resistant does not
respond to the glyphosate or to Round-Up so our inclination is to say we’re
gonna put something with it, we’ll put in something like Flexstar.
An ideal application if our weeds are this
tall, but if our weeds are this tall, Flexstar will not give you the control. We
looked at weeds that were four to five inches tall last year in some of our
research plots. We found no tank mix that was effective at controlling pigweed
once they got four inches tall. That’s the situation we have here. We can see
the burn, we see some distortion but no control of this pigweed, it will be here
at harvest time.
The moral of the story is a residual herbicide
at planting and early, early applications with Flexstar.
