Soybean growers continue to look for ways to decrease input costs, and herbicide resistant weeds continue to affect yield while new resistant biotypes continue to evolve due to limited post-emergent herbicide options. Misapplication and overuse of post-emergent herbicides has led to selection pressure in waterhemp populations. Soil applied residuals are effective as the herbicide is absorbed into the weed at the most vulnerable stage of growth, emergence. A micro-rate soil applied residual herbicide program could significantly reduce cost and soybean injury while providing effective waterhemp control. Increased sites of action in soil residual herbicide use will decrease selection pressure...
