Considerations for pre-emergence herbicides
Pre-emergence, soil-active herbicides applied around the time of planting are an important part of a good weed management program. However, variability in spring weather leads to concerns about both weed control and crop injury.
Late winter kochia control in fields going to corn or grain sorghum
Last week, we shared some general information about applying pre-emergence herbicides for kochia control. In this article, the focus is on specific recommendations for fields going to corn or grain sorghum this growing season.
Late winter kochia control in fields going to soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat
This is the third and final article in a series discussing pre-emergence herbicides for kochia control. For this article, we cover recommendations specific to fields that will be planted to soybean or sunflower this spring and wheat in the fall.
Residual herbicides for corn
Residual herbicides that kill weed seeds/seedlings as they germinate or emerge are an important component of herbicide applications at or before the time of corn planting. Learn about the different options in this article from Weeds Specialist Sarah Lancaster.
Pre-emergence herbicides for grain sorghum
With few post-emergence herbicide options for control of grass species and Palmer amaranthl in grain sorghum, having an effective pre-emergence herbicide program is very important. Learn more about the different soil-applied residual herbicides in this article.

Pre-emergence herbicides for wheat
Pre-emergence herbicides with residual activity are used less frequently in wheat production compared to other cropping systems in Kansas. However, residual herbicides applied prior to wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system in wheat production.

Pre-emergence herbicides for wheat
Residual herbicides applied prior to wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system in wheat production. Field bindweed is a particularly troublesome weed that can greatly reduce wheat yield. Learn the best strategy for bindweed control in this article.

Late winter kochia control in fields going to corn or grain sorghum
Last week, we shared some general information about applying pre-emergence herbicides for kochia control. This article focuses on specific recommendations for fields going to corn or grain sorghum this growing season.
Residual herbicides for corn
Residual herbicides that kill weed seeds/seedlings as they germinate or emerge are an important component of herbicide applications at or before the time of corn planting. Many cases of herbicide-resistant weeds have resulted from over-reliance on post-emergence herbicide applications, thus it is essential to include one or more residual herbicides available for corn.
Pre-emergence herbicides in wheat
Pre-emergence herbicides with residual activity are an important component of high-yielding cropping systems. While used less frequently compared to other cropping systems, residual herbicides applied prior to wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system in wheat production.

Late winter kochia control in fields going to soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat
This is the third and final article discussing pre-emergence herbicides for kochia control. This week, we will discuss recommendations specific to fields planted to soybeans or sunflower this spring and wheat in the fall.
Residual herbicides for corn
Residual herbicides that kill weed seeds and/or seedlings as they germinate or emerge are important for herbicide applications at or before corn planting. These herbicides can control weeds for several weeks, which prevents yield loss due to early-season weed competition.
Pre-emergence herbicides for soybeans
Pre-emergence herbicides are the foundation of any excellent weed control program in soybeans. Using multiple effective residual herbicides is important to broaden the spectrum of controlled weeds, ensure herbicide activation in various environments, and guard against herbicide resistance.
Early season weed control in cotton
Early season weed control is especially important in cotton because it can be slow to canopy relative to other crops grown in Kansas and is, therefore, less competitive early in the growing season. Weeds compete for resources during the season and contribute to trash and discoloration of the lint at harvest, resulting in major dockage in quality grades and reduced lint value.
Pre-emergence herbicides in wheat
Pre-emergence herbicides with residual activity are an important component of high-yielding cropping systems. They are not emphasized as much in wheat production as other cropping systems in Kansas, but residual herbicides applied before wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system in wheat.
