Knowing the Soil Types in Your Fields Can Increase Weed Control
As soil temperatures increase, many farmers are beginning to plant crops and start preemergent weed control. Learn the important role that soil type can play in getting the most out of preemergence herbicide applications.

Read the Label
Last year, Bayer announced they would be phasing out glyphosate from the homeowner market, but they would be keeping the Roundup name for future marketing. Learn some important label considerations when purchasing Roundup-branded products.
Want a Premium Price? Weed Control In NON-GMO Soybeans
Many emotions set in on farmers that hear the word “non-GMO”, but it could help them in times like today when prices are low for many farm products in South Dakota.
Herbicide Considerations for Cover Crop Planting in 2019
Long residual pre-emergent or early post-emergent herbicides may cause stand reduction or complete failure of cover crops. Depending on efficacy of the herbicide, each situation can both affect in-season and/or post-harvest cover crop establishment.
Herbicide Rotation Restrictions
This is a quick reference guide to common herbicides and their rotation restrictions for selected crops.
Crop Tolerance to Soil Herbicide Residual
Some herbicides can persist in soil, especially dry soil. Herbicide carryover could be an issue in 2021 across the state depending upon last year’s moisture levels and field conditions.
The Fall Advantage of Kochia Control
Kochia is a problem in north central South Dakota row crops. New post-emergent options in corn and soybean have helped alleviate kochia competition from many fields, but these herbicide options shouldn’t be completely relied upon for a long-term control plan.
Marestail Fall Control
Marestail (also known as horseweed) is considered either a winter annual or biennial species that is often difficult to identify at the rosette stage. In the Dakota’s, marestail will germinate in the fall and bolt in the spring.
Soybean Cyst Nematode Management Plans Should Include Proactive Weed Management
While soybean cyst nematode can be managed through use of resistant varieties and crop rotation, presence of alternative weed hosts can negate the benefits of these practices by providing a host for soybean cyst nematode to continue to accumulate in the soil.
