Marestail Control Prior to Planting
Marestail can be one of the most challenging weeds to control prior to planting no-till soybean. Already this season some have reported poor marestail control following applications of glyphosate plus 2,4-D. Poor control can be caused by several factors, including large plant size and resistance to glyphosate. If a marestail population is resistant to glyphosate, a pint of 2,4-D in the spring is generally inconsistent/ineffective when it’s the only product in a tankmix active on the resistant population.…
