28. Weed Management in Drilled Roundup Ready Soybeans • Roundup at 2 to 3 WAE; Note:Tank-mix with 0.15 oz/A FirstRate or 0.33 oz/A Classic if morningglories are larger than 4 inches. • Repeat application 14 days later if needed

29. Weed Management in Wide-Row Roundup Ready Soybeans - Option 1 • Soil-applied herbicide at planting • Roundup 5 to 6 WAE - Option 2 • Roundup 2 WAE • Roundup 14 to 21 days later

30. Weed Management in Conventional Soybeans • Drilled (7.5-inch rows) • Soil-applied herbicide(s) at planting specific for weed spectrum • Postemergence herbicide(s) at 4 WAE if needed • Wide Rows (30- to 38-inch rows) • Same as above, except postemergence herbicide must be applied.

31. Recommendations Choose a variety based on nematode resistance in addition to yield potential. Deep tillage is essential on Coastal Plains soils. Drill seed double-cropped soybeans.

32. Recommendations Apply 5 lbs/acre Temik in conjunction with a nematode- resistant variety in nematode infested fields. Apply postemergence herbicides in a timely manner.
