Final Report

Article

Brief Project Summary:

For this project, researchers will target a June 1 planting date, which should allow for the first flush of Palmer amaranth to be emerged so that a more aggressive burndown herbicide application can be used. Western Kansas has had more soybean acres planted in recent years. Research-based information is needed on evaluating seeding rates, row spacing, and non-traditional planting dates as components of integrated weed management for the future success of western producers. With emerging technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles, it is important that data be collected to assess their potential for weed management.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, ag retailers, extension specialists
