Weed Control Guide now available

The "2010 Weed Control Guide for Ohio and Indiana," which sold out of its initial run in just three weeks, is again available for farmers, crop consultants or anyone else in the ag business looking for tips to rid pesky weeds on the farm.

Written by Ohio State University Extension and Purdue University Cooperative Extension weed specialists, the 192-page publication provides research-based, unbiased weed control recommendations. It covers such topics as the importance of timing, proper identification, cultural and mechanical control, spray drift, weed resistance and sprayer calibration.

Other highlights include:

--Detail on no tillage, pre-emergence, post-emergence and combination herbicide programs.

--Detailed advice for conventional corn (Non-GMO) as well as Clearfield, Liberty Link and glyphosate-resistant hybrids. Similar recommendations are outlined for Non-GMO, Roundup Ready and Liberty-Link soybeans.

--Weed control strategies for wheat and oats, including those underseeded with legumes, with a special page illustrating wheat growth stages relative to the timing of herbicide application.

--A harvest aid area that addresses products utilized for that undesired scenario in corn, soybeans and wheat.

--For farmers who grow forages, check out the section that covers legumes, grasses and pastures.

--A dozen pages review the control of problem weeds like giant ragweed, thistles, dandelions and pokeweed.
