Just like last year, it will likely be a compacted spring season. Planting took precedence over early spring weed control in 2022 “and I think we learned last year that we kind of regretted not getting more preemergence herbicides on.” Dekalb Asgrow Technical Agronomist Grant Mehring says the easiest weed to control is the one that hasn’t emerged yet. “That’s where cultural management such as PPI’s or pre’s are going to do a good job, but also certain things like managing your tillage. I really want growers to think about controlling weed seeds first and then controlling your really small weeds..” Mehring said the two-to-three inch tall weeds can become four-or-five feed tall before you know it.” The full interview with Mehring can be found on the Red River Farm Network website.
