Weed Management in Soft Red Winter Wheat
Management of weeds in soft red winter wheat can be a challenge in the midwestern states, especially with the limitations of herbicide due to the desire to plant double crop soybean following wheat harvest in these areas. This talk will cover the research finding from the University of Kentucky on complete weed control programs in winter wheat with an emphasis on some of the more problematic winter annual broadleaf weeds and grasses.
