Weed management practices: Fall scouting and equipment cleaning
Weed management doesn't stop at harvest. Scouting fields for escapes and cleaning equipment can help prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds. Learn practical steps to reduce future weed pressure.
Crop monitoring with drone-based remote sensing technology
Traditional crop scouting has limits in tall, dense crops like corn at tasseling. Drone-based remote sensing can reveal crop health, detect stress, and improve yield predictions during this critical growth stage.
Spray water quality and herbicide performance survey
K-State researchers are conducting a survey to better understand how spray water quality affects herbicide performance in Kansas. Your input will help guide future research and recommendations for weed control.
