  • Farmers in most states often try to plant soybeans as early as possible to increase yields. However, planting soybeans sooner than later might also require a corresponding change in herbicide application strategy to garner top results.

The article from MSN discusses a study on weed control in early-planted soybeans, highlighting that a combination of preemergence and postemergence herbicides provides the most effective weed management. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, found that using a preemergence herbicide followed by a postemergence application significantly reduces weed pressure, which is particularly beneficial for soybeans planted early in the season. This approach not only helps in managing early emerging weeds but also tackles later flushes of weeds, ensuring a cleaner field throughout the growing season. The research underscores the importance of timely application and the right choice of herbicides to maximize yield potential by minimizing competition from weeds.
