[Dr. Smith] Horseweed has become a major problem for us in the state. We've
looked for many years now at burn down solutions in the spring prior to planting
soybean or cotton, and have done a good job of finding solutions for that.
Farmers have adopted our dicamba, glycosphate combinations in the spring. But
in soybeans following wheat, as we see in this field, our solutions are not as
evident.
We'll do a series of podcasts this year showing different techniques for
managing glycosphate resistant horseweed in soybeans following wheat.
[Picture of a computer playing this podcast in a soybean field full of
horseweed] What we'd like to do is invite you to follow the results in this
series of podcasts, but in this field we will put a series of treatments that
are common to Arkansas, like burn the stubble, till the stubble after harvest,
or plant directly into the stubble with no tillage or burning. And, we will
actually make preharvest applications in some of these plots. [Pictures of a
test field, burning, tilling, planting and spraying]
But, in each of these treatments, the burn, the till, the stubble, the
preharvest we'll come back and establish two different technologies, the Liberty
Link technology and the Roundup Ready Technology, and then attempt to control
horseweed with the available herbicides in each of these technologies. [Logos of
Liberty Link and Roundup Ready]
It is going to be an interesting series of podcasts and one in which I think
we will all learn about managing horseweed in wheat to make soybean farming a
lot more fun and profitable.
We invite you to stay with us for this series of podcasts over the next few
weeks, and learn with us as we learn to mange horseweed in soybean. [Title Slide
