1. Maximize your ROI in Wheat with Soil Active Herbicides Herbicides Maximize your ROI in Wheat with Soil Active The right crop protection solutions and weed management programs are essential to maximize the value of your crops. A Soil Active Solution Valtera™ EZ and Fierce® EZ are two soil-active herbicides that are excellent additions to a season-long herbicide plan. Smart Weeds Require Smart Stewardship Remember the best time to slow the development of weed resistance is before you have a weed resistance problem. 1. Change up your Farm Practices Do something different every year to throw weeds off their game. Weeds are smart but they thrive on routine so change it up and mess them up. Alter herbicide application timings or include an application timing you haven’t before. 2. Rotate Crops Plant different crops and change up growing habits and competition levels in your fields. 3. Rotate Herbicide Mixtures Use different modes of action and products with multiple modes of action. Rotate your tank mixes and change application timing. 4. Scout for Survivors After spraying get out in the field and see if you can find patches or individuals that were not controlled – testing for resistance to most modes of action is available in Canada. Finding and managing those patches/fields early can save money and time in the long run. 5. Keep Records Knowledge is power. Keep track of what you’ve done in the past and keep it easily accessible for planning next year. Wheat is an important crop to Canadian farmers. Not only does it play a pivotal role in the long-term health of the farm as key crop rotation, but it also brings key cash receipts to the operation. So next time you grow wheat, protect your investment and make some dough with soil-active weed control.
