Weed resistance remains a constant threat to the bottom line. FMC agronomist Camille Lambert feels there are never too many tools for a farmer to deal with resistance. “We’re still trying to kind of get growers to shift their mindset instead of being more reactive with our herbicide strategy to using more of a proactive approach.” That includes overlapping residuals. “You spray your pre-emerge herbicide, 21-to-28 days later you go back and you spray another herbicide with a residual and you put a fresh blanket down.” The goal is to get canopy closure without any weeds coming up because shade is our ultimate method for weed control.
