Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative Research Agronomist David Mettler will continue to look for new ways to use old chemistries in 2024. “We are resurrecting some of these older products,” said Mettler. “We’re not really getting any new products and we’re trying to control some of these waterhemp populations that are resistant to glyphosate.” Eptam and Ro-Neet worked well to control waterhemp in areas that did not have enough moisture to fully activate pre-emerge herbicides. There is some risk of injury to sugarbeets using those products, but other products lack overall weed control.
