Pre-emergence herbicides for wheat
Pre-emergence herbicides with residual activity are an important component of high-yielding cropping systems. Residual herbicides applied prior to wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system in wheat production.
Cover crop response to herbicides
Cover crop response to herbicides will be influenced by a number of factors, including biological and biochemical characteristics of the plant, chemical characteristics of the herbicide, and weather conditions since herbicide application.
Control annual weeds with fall-applied herbicides ahead of corn and sorghum
With row crop harvest well underway, it is time to start planning fall herbicide applications. Herbicide applications in late October through November can improve control of difficult winter annual weeds.

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.

Early-season weed control in cotton
Early season weed control is particularly important in cotton as it can be slow to develop a crop canopy. Learn the best strategies for keeping weeds at bay in your cotton fields this spring and summer.
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.

Get control of fall-emerged marestail before next spring
Marestail or "horseweed" is a challenging weed to manage in no-till or minimum till systems. Fall-emerged marestail can be difficult to control if allowed to grow until planting in the following spring. Different control options are available for use in the fall while plants are still small.

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.

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.
Early-season weed control in cotton
Early-season weed control is especially important in cotton because can be slow to canopy relative to other crops grown in Kansas, and therefore less competitive early in the growing season. Tillage is often used for early-season weed control; however, most Kansas cotton acreage is in conservation tillage systems, so effective herbicides are needed before planting.

Control annual weeds with fall-applied herbicides ahead of corn and sorghum
With row crop harvest well underway, it is time to start planning fall herbicide applications. Herbicide applications in late October through November can improve control of difficult winter annual weeds. Fall weed control is associated with warmer soils and easier planting in the spring. However, fall-applied herbicides may limit your crop options in the spring.

Get control of fall-emerged marestail before next spring
Marestail, or horseweed, is a challenging weed to manage in no-till or minimum-till systems. Acceptable control of fall-emerged marestail with herbicide applications at planting will be unlikely because the marestail are generally too large, but control can be achieved with both fall and early spring herbicide applications. Other control options include tillage and cover crops.

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.
Preplant herbicide applications for kochia control
Now is the time to finalize plans for kochia control. In western Kansas, kochia is among the first summer annual weeds to emerge in the spring. Good control of the first dense flush of kochia is essential for obtaining a good crop yield. This article will be the first in a series discussing specific options for various cropping scenarios.

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. It is critical to start the growing season with clean fields.

Residual herbicides that kill weed seeds/seedlings as they germinate or emerge are important for herbicide applications at or before corn planting. In general, preventing the emergence of weeds, especially herbicide-resistant weeds, is preferable to controlling them after they emerge.
Marestail in soybeans: Strategies for the best control
Controlling marestail in soybeans can be a challenge for Kansas no-till producers. Application timing and weed size are critical factors for successfully controlling this weed germinating in the fall or early spring. In general, marestail in Kansas will bolt in April, so now is the time for these applications.
Improve weed control by combining residual herbicides with varying water solubility
Applying multiple residual herbicides is a recommended practice, with combinations generally designed for effectiveness on the range of weed species in the field. One factor that may be overlooked when selecting herbicide combinations is the water solubility of the herbicides.

Early weed control is crucial for cotton success in Kansas
Cotton is slow to canopy and struggles to compete with weeds early in the season. This article highlights why early weed control is critical for protecting yield, lint quality, and overall crop value. Starting clean helps ensure a healthier, more competitive crop all season long.
Get ahead of weeds: Preplant herbicide options for grain sorghum
Planting grain sorghum into a clean, weed-free field, paired with a strong residual herbicide program, gives the crop a critical advantage over weeds. Early weed control reduces competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight while lowering the risk of herbicide failure later in the season.

Preemergence herbicide options for grain sorghum
Effective weed management in grain sorghum starts with a solid residual herbicide program at planting. With limited postemergence options and growing herbicide resistance, a proactive approach using multiple sites of action is key, especially for tough weeds like Palmer amaranth.
