Elevated risk of herbicide carryover this spring

Elevated risk of herbicide carryover this spring

An agronomist says exceptionally dry winters can lead to higher cases of herbicide carryover in the spring. 

Jason Mefford, who’s based in west central Missouri with AgriGold, tells Brownfield…

“That’s a pretty big concern.”  He says, “Almost all herbicides that are degraded are done by moisture and temperature and biology. So not having that moisture there it can really cause an issue.” 

This winter was exceptionally dry in much of the Midwest, and Mefford says recent rains may not be enough to avoid issues.
