Dry or wet, whatever conditions this coming spring brings, one thing is certain – weeds will be emerging, whether you can see them or not. That’s why a grower’s number one goal should be to use a pre-seed burnoff to limit early herbicide-resistant weed competition on emerging crops, even when conditions are dry. According to… Read More

As weed populations evolve and we continue to see growth in tolerance to active ingredients, the need for strategies that include multiple modes of action in burnoff applications has never been more necessary. To get the most value from pre-seed burnoff, all the products in the tank should work in synergy to provide powerful control… Read More
A glyphosate add-in can help maximize early-season weed removal and manage resistance. Sending glyphosate out alone for your spring burnoff is something that might end up costing you dearly down the road. According to weed scientists, continuously using a herbicide with a single mode of action accelerates herbicide resistance. Hitting the same weeds at the… Read More
