Brief Project Summary:

Saflufenacil, sold as Sharpen herbicide, has proven to be an excellent burndown/pre-plant herbicide tank mix partner for soybeans. Saflufenacil has shown especially good control of glyphosate-resistant marestail when other products have proved less efficient. Soybean varieties differ in their tolerance to this herbicide with injury symptoms noted in some, while other varieties remain unaffected. This project determines these effects and generates valuable varietal information on currently available varieties.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
