Brief Project Summary:

This project examines various postemergence approaches for Enlist soybeans, which tolerate 2,4-D herbicides, to compare utility of Enlist versus Xtend soybeans for burndown weed control. It also evaluates the best use of Enlist soybean traits for postemergence weed control. It explores tankmixes of Enlist One with glyphosate, glufosinate, Reflex, Assure II and Select for burndown with and without cover crops, as well as post-emergence. Evaluations include bi-weekly crop response and weed control, as well as yield.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Reports of this study will be disseminated through extension presentations and be used to develop weed control recommendations. Research plots will be highlighted on field tours at the Research and Education Center. An annual report will be available through the UD Weed Science Website (http://extension.udel.edu/ag/weed-science/weed-science-reports/).
