A late spring has delayed fieldwork for many Midwest farmers this year. It’s been difficult to make timely burndown applications ahead of planting. A producer may be wondering if and when he can get into the field to apply herbicides. It can be tempting to skip a burndown or preplanting herbicide application or even both in the desire to plant fields. A producer may decide to plant first and apply herbicide later. The danger comes when he ignores good spraying opportunities to finish planting all his acres. But if weeds gain a foothold and grow too tall—such as marestail in soybeans—it’s very difficult to control them completely. If a producer gets a day or two with good spraying conditions, he may need to stop the planter and apply a pre-emergence herbicide. Enlist Duo herbicide offers two modes of action: new 2,4-D choline and glyphosate. Enlist One herbicide, a straight-goods 2,4-D choline, provides additional flexibility with a wide choice of qualified nozzles and tank-mix partners. Both have Colex-D technology, providing near-zero volatility and reduced drift. For more information, see a representative or visit www.EnlistOnline.com.
