Syngenta stresses importance of early season weed control
An agronomy expert says now is the time for soybean farmers to take a look at their weed control plans for the 2024 growing season.
Dean Grossnickle, technical development lead with Syngenta, says harvest recently wrapped up and the results are still fresh.
“Specifically, with some of these driver weeds like waterhemp or Palmer amaranth, they’re really tough to control and if we put it on the back burner, maybe we have kind of rose colored glasses when we get into March and April like, ‘oh yeah, it really wasn’t that bad, you know, because I don’t remember it.’”
He tells Brownfield more and more producers are planting soybeans earlier. “There we’ve got two to three more weeks of residual weed control that we need to make sure that we have in place before that post emergence application comes around.”
Grossnickle suggests applying a preemergence herbicide, like Tendovo, to help improve crop safety and yield potential.

The majority of us tend to be on the lazy side! We prefer on spray pass versus 2. My question is as follows is Tendovo a residue spray, is it tank mixable with roundup and how long does its effectiveness last for, are there any replant crop restrictions?
