Sprayer

The first step in planning a herbicide program and battling herbicide resistance is to make sure your program includes multiple sites of action or what we will refer to as herbicide groups.

As of early November 2018, there were only three dicamba-containingproducts approved for preplant, preemergence, or postemergence use in Roundup Ready Xtend soybeans.

For effective rinsing of all the sprayer components, circulate clean water through the whole sprayer for several minutes with the nozzles off, then flush out the rinsate through the nozzles.

Here are two not new but neat ideas that could improve your spraying program.

It's clear that pesticides mainly dicamba should not be applied during an inversion, but that can be easier said than done.

Even trace amounts of the wrong herbicide can damage crops and lower overall yield.

Remember, cleaning every piece of your sprayer is necessary-- even a minute amount of residue can reduce crop production.
