That’s the message from Wilbur-Ellis agronomy manager Kevin Erikson. The use of a pre-emergence herbicide is seen as an important tool against weed resistance.”The weed that doesn’t come out of the ground is the easiest to kill because once waterhemp emerges, it is prolific and grows so quickly,” said Erikson. “The labels read three inches (for herbicide application. Three inches turns into the size of a pop can to a foot tall and your post spray will not take it down.” Erikson, who is based at Salem, South Dakota, expects a more ‘normal’ year for the supply chain in 2023.
