With earlier deadlines for dicamba application, an Illinois-based agronomist recommends farmers put together an extensive weed management plan.
Kurt Maertens with BASF tells Brownfield farmers should start with dicamba.
“I want it used in the burn down or the early post-application and that is where it is going to work well because things might be a ,little bit cooler. We need a systemic herbicide. That will always look better in that application setting.”
He says utilizing multiple modes of action is critical to controlling problem weeds like waterhemp and palmer amaranth.
