As growers are planting no-till and strip-till soybeans, they are focused on getting the crop off to a fast start. Controlling winter weeds and planting as early as conditions allow can go a long way towards a quality start to the growing season.
Mike Probst, technical service representative with BASF says there is a checklist to take care of when planting soybeans.
The trend of planting soybeans earlier and earlier continues to yield results. Probst says that planting as early as possible is a key factor in maximizing yields.
Probst says there are several important factors to consider about the importance of a quality burndown application.
He says applications need to be applied when temperatures are warm, and weeds are still early in their growing cycle. For a no-till farmer, Probst mentions some effective herbicides for early-season weed control.
