Brief Project Summary:

Marestail has become a major weed for soybean producers in Kentucky and throughout a broader geographic range. Its small seed size makes this weed particularly troublesome for no-till soybean growers as seedlings can emerge from the soil surface. Its prolific, wind-blown seed can disperse far between fields and adjacent natural areas, while its extended emergence period also complicates timely and economical management efforts. In addition to all of these traits, glyphosate resistant biotypes are now widespread throughout the state. Thus, management tactics that integrate chemical options with cultural practices like the use of cover crops are desirable for this species. This project examines...

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.
