Brief Project Summary:

This project addresses critical weed control issues in soybean. It aims to identify and develop cost-effective control strategies for the various weed control problems that occur in soybeans, develop strategies for management of herbicide-resistant weeds and determine utility of Dicamba-, 2,4-D-, and HPPD-tolerant soybeans for positioning into weed management programs. It also evaluates weed control strategies such as winter cover crops for managing weeds in soybeans and burndown options to control problem weeds. The efforts also develop management options to prevent or delay development of herbicide-resistance weeds and assess new herbicide technologies and traits that provide new weed management options.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
