Two crucial factors are limiting weed control options and pushing no-till farmers in the Central Great Plains into a corner: herbicide resistance and water availability.
Weeds continue to be increasingly challenging each year with herbicide resistance concerns on the rise, persistent challenging environmental conditions, and further spreading across the state (particularly with waterhemp). As a result, it is not viable to rely solely on herbicides for successful weed management anymore.
Managing weeds has always been a hot button issue for cover crop growers, especially for herbicide-resistant weed species. Lots of new precision technology has been released in the past few years in an attempt to make this issue easier for growers.
Weeds continue to be one of the most yield-limiting factors in no-till crop production, but thankfully, there are new ways of dealing with them when the right tools are sought out and used.
1st year of research shows that between 7-14 days after soybean emergence, rye increases weed suppression by 5.3% per day but hurts yield by about ½ bushel per day
74% of the farmers who responded to the 2024 Cover Crops Operational Practices Survey say cover crops provide at least some level of weed suppression in their fields.
Although glyphosate provided superior weed control in the early years, most of the weeds in the dataset showed signs of adaptation to the chemical in just two to three years.
A field study was conducted to determine the amount of dry cereal rye cover crop biomass needed to suppress giant ragweed density and growth. The study was conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the Rock County Farm near Janesville, Wis.
