Weed Control Strategies
Weeds. They compete for moisture, nutrients and light, stealing soybean yield. They adapt to the environment, developing resistance to herbicides. They stick out in soybean fields, announcing where their descendants will compete with future crops. Ongoing Soy Checkoff efforts identify and refine strategies to control weeds in soybeans. Explore research, tools and resources, from advanced herbicide-tolerant soybeans and herbicides with multiple modes of action to cover crops and seed destruction, aimed at protecting yields and preserving herbicide technology.
Weeds steal nutrients and water and cut soybean yields. Herbicide resistance adds to the challenge and complexity of managing weeds. Farmers, researchers and others in the soybean industry discuss weed problems and effective management.
