The use of PPO herbicides for control of waterhemp, Palmer amaranth and other pigweed species have had an impact on soybean emergence we rarely see in this district. With the combination of wet and cool conditions these PPO herbicides have caused some conditions that have required replanting in some fields. What is happening... |
