Overlapping residual herbicides

The best way to prevent weeds such as waterhemp is to overlap residual weed control compounds.  That’s according to Bruce Bishop, regional chemistry account manager for Monsanto, who spoke to farmers and retailers during the Monsanto-sponsored agAcademy in Missouri.

Bishop’s recommendations focus not on any one brand of weed control system, but how the system is managed.

“No matter which system we go with, we can be effective and be good stewards of weed management no matter where we are,” he said, during an interview with Brownfield Ag News.

He makes a case for overlapping residual control to catch the nastiest weeds.

“The best way to control waterhemp is to never let it come out of the ground.”
