Weed Control Strategies
Weeds steal soybean yield as they compete for moisture, nutrients and light. Weeds stubbornly adapt to their environment, developing herbicide resistance. Ongoing research identifies effective strategies and tools to manage tough weeds, including advanced herbicide-tolerant soybean systems, herbicides with multiple modes of action, application timing, cover crops, tillage and more. Explore a variety research efforts, tools and resources funded by the soy checkoff and 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.
