The supply chain and weed management

Q & A with an expert

By
Q: Will supply chain issues affect my weed management decisions in 2022? A: Last year was a challenge due, in part, to drought, but 2022 brings its own challenges with supply chain issues from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

A herbicide layering strategy uses a pre-seed treatment on emerged weeds while using soil-applied products simultaneously to control weeds that emerge a couple of weeks after the initial application. The pre-seed treatment helps to remove early-emerged weed pressure while the soil-applied application, when activated by moisture, provides extended control to help reduce weed pressure prior to the application of an in-crop herbicide. This type of strategy not only helps with early weed removal and allowing the crop to establish and take advantage of the nutrients and moisture available, but it also provides farmers more options for an in-crop application that will best target the later-emerging weeds that have to be dealt with.
