According to a research article recently published in Weed Technology<\/em>, a journal of the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA), a strategy utilizing both preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicide treatments optimized weed control outcomes in early planted soybean. Researchers conducted their study in 2021 at three locations across Central Illinois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe research objective was to examine various herbicide treatments applied at different timings and rates to assess the effect on weed control and yield in early planted soybean,\u201d says Aaron Hager, Ph.D., Department of Crop Sciences, University of Illinois, and corresponding author for the study, and WSSA member scientist. \u201cOverall, we found that treatments comprised of a full rate of PRE followed by a POST resulted in the greatest and most consistent weed control at the final evaluation timing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRE-only treatments failed to perform as well as either POST-only or PRE plus POST herbicide treatments in early planted soybean, points out Hager. \u201cFor optimal effect on both weed control and yield, the PRE plus POST combo proved best for early planted soybean,\u201d sums up Hager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
