Source summary

What this podcast covered

Salvage Treatments for Rice

Effective salvage treatments for barnyard grass in rice include combinations of Rice Star with Regiment or Beyond. These treatments have shown promising results in research, although they come at a higher cost.

Importance of Timing

The timing of herbicide applications can significantly affect weed control and crop yields. Research indicates that post-flood applications may provide better weed control, but pre-flood treatments can lead to higher yields.

Legal Considerations

Farmers must be aware of legal restrictions regarding herbicide mixtures, particularly in dicamba systems. Mixing dicamba with glyphosate is illegal in Arkansas and can lead to reduced weed control.

Approaching Cut-off Dates

With herbicide cut-off dates approaching, farmers need to act quickly to apply necessary treatments. Awareness of these timelines is crucial for effective weed management.
