A Kansas farmer says proposed restrictions of atrazine could reverse advances producers have made in conservation.
Rick Schlender tells Brownfield the input has improved several technologies like no-till farming by using sound science. “What rate are we using? I’ve worked in a water shed where we have to reduce atrazine that’s going out there. It’s really critical because it gives the synergy effect to other pesticides that we have. We don’t want to lose that.”
But, he says, growers could be more efficient by tailoring rates.
