Seed the First Step in Soybean Weed Control
By: Lucas Gillmore, Seed Manager
In 1996, Monsanto introduced Roundup Ready soybeans which completely revolutionized farming practices. In just 3 years, 85% of soybeans grown nationally were Roundup Ready. Glyphosate was the silver bullet that a farmer could count on. But all good things often come to an end. Once glyphosate resistance emerged, it brought yield loss, multiple spray trips, and weedy fields. As weed resistance has grown, specifically in soybeans, farmers have faced more and more difficult weeds to control. We have had several new herbicide traits and stacks introduced into the market, and there will continue to be more added in the next few years. Plus, there are still more in the regulatory approval process. But, these new traits will be making beans tolerant to existing herbicides. While research is underway to find a new mode of action, there is nothing currently in the government approval process. Since this can take over a decade, we must make the best of what we have available today. As you plan next year’s weed management strategy, know the very first decision needs to be seed trait selection. More
