During the Sugarbeet Grower Seminar in Grand Forks, Extension Sugarbeet Specialist Tom Peters highlighted the importance of soil type when determining herbicide rates. Knowing that information is key in preventing injury. “Having too much herbicide in a low organic matter or course textured soil could mean potentially having injury,” said Peters. “Likewise, not having the right rate in a high organic matter or fine-textured soil might mean a waterhemp break so both ends are pretty important for us.”
