Out of this World! Winning the War on Weeds: Soybean Herbicides

from Farm4Profit Podcast · host Eric Scherder, Drake Robards, NASA

Exploring the importance of a program-based approach to weed control in soybeans. Drake explains how farmers can get ahead of weed pressure by integrating multiple sites of action, using cultural practices like tillage and crop rotation, and applying preemergence herbicides before weeds become established.With planting season approaching, the discussion highlights why preemergence herbicides are crucial for preventing weeds from emerging and setting the stage for season-long control. Corteva Agriscience is introducing two new preemergence solutions—Kyber® Pro and Sonic® Boom herbicides—which provide multiple modes of action to effectively target tough-to-control weeds while ensuring crop safety and tank-mix flexibility.We also discuss the benefits of following up with a postemergence application, including how Enversa™ herbicide offers extended residual activity, superior tank-mix compatibility, and strong control against glyphosate- and ALS-resistant weeds. Drake breaks down how these new products fit into an integrated weed management system, ensuring farmers can maintain cleaner fields, protect yields, and sustain herbicide effectiveness for the future.Throughout the episode, we also address common misconceptions about program-based weed control, including concerns over cost and complexity. Drake emphasizes that while a comprehensive weed management approach may require planning, the cost of neglecting weed control is far greater in terms of lost yield potential and resistance development.
