BASF sponsored RRFN’s Agriculture Today broadcast during Bean Day. “For BASF, the dry bean acre is very important and we continue to bring farmers different tools to control tough weeds,” said Nick Salentine, business representative. For tough-to-control weeds, like waterhemp, a layby application of Outlook herbicide is designed to reduce the population of weeds at emergence. Another economically important issue for dry bean growers is white mold. “It is obviously very aggressive and we need to be on our ‘A game’ when we’re tackling this disease,” explained Ken Deibert, technical service representative. “Endura fungicide is the market leader in the white mold control segment.”
