This presentation will help consultants, growers, and other practitioners in the North Central U.S. evaluate the importance of residual herbicide use in soybean systems to maximize profit and proactively manage for herbicide resistance. Herbicide-resistant weeds are a serious threat across the Nation. It is important to maximize the benefits of cultural weed control by using the best agronomic management practices. However, the cost of soybean seed is dramatically increasing and this presentation discusses the interaction and relative importance of residual herbicide versus extra soybean plants in the canopy.
