Part 3: Multiple Modes of Action Control Tough Weeds
Following results from Kansas and Nebraska, and Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, growers in Southern Illinois and Missouri share their evaluations of Acuron® and Acuron Flexi corn herbicides. In these areas, waterhemp was the biggest concern. Growers in Southern Illinois also named morningglory, pigweed and marestail as problematic weeds.
Here’s a recap:
