Update:
Project results have been presented at field days in Ottawa and Scandia, KS. The graduate student managing the project is currently preparing his thesis and the manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Including Dual Magnum in the postemergence herbicide application did not result in a statistically significant increase in visual estimates of weed control at any location, even when there were differences in soybean populations. However, it is important to remember that a small difference in estimated control of weeds like waterhemp and Palmer amaranth can result in greater weed populations in future years. Furthermore, weed escapes increase the likelihood of herbicide resistance, especially in weeds with a lot of genetic diversity, like waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Results of partial budget analyses varied with location, with few discernable trends.
