Key principles include starting with a clean seed bed, herbicides in weed control programs, making timely post emergence herbicide applications, and realizing that certain weeds have evolved resistance to different herbicides are all key considerations needed when growing non-GMO soybean. Using these principles and information to develop effective weed management programs...
