Kick' N Dirt with Calvin Rupe, Discussing Pre-Plant Herbicide Decisions
Mike and the Kevins are joined by Calvin Rupe, Pioneer Field Agronomist, to discuss pre-plant and pre-emergence herbicide decisions as growers get ready to plant 2024's crop. While all fields vary, early weed control can help protect yield potential. Getting to weeds before the grow or takeover a field is critical, especially as smaller weeds are easier to control and kill. It's important to note that herbicides can be less effective during times of heat and drought stress, which often occur at later application times.
