HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) —Agriculture Secretary
Charles C. Brosius applauded Pen
nsylvania apple marketers for
cooperating in the effort to provide
fresh “Eastern Select” brand
apples for the Washington,
D.C./Baltimore area.
Apple marketing boards in Pen
nsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and
West Virginia initiated the joint
marketing effort two years ago as a
vehicle for getting locally grown
apples into the Washington, D.C.
and Baltimore stores.
“Sales of Eastern Select apples
have been outstanding,” Brosius
said. “By working together with
apple marketing programs in
neighboring states, our farmers
have increased their share of the
fresh apple market in Baltimore
and Washington, D.C.”
“By joining together, we have
been able to implement a very
effective promotion in this major
East Coast market. Consumers
want the freshes*., highest quality

“This new application for
Roundup will allow farmers to
conserve time, resources and ener
gy while reducing the overall cost
of producing soybeans,” said Ar
nold W. Donald, president, Mon
santo’s Crop Protection business
unit.
Approval of the revised label
for Roundup herbicide was the
final U.S. regulatory step neces
sary to make Roundup Ready soy
bean seed available to growers.
The U.S. Food and Drug Adminis
tration (FDA) and the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture (USDA)
completed their evaluations in
1994.
Roundup Ready soybeans will
offer growers a new weed control
option with a herbicide known for
its effectiveness against a broad
spectrum of weeds as well as for
its favorable environmental char
acteristics.
“Monsanto will recommend an
in-crop application of 24 to 32
ounces per acre to control most
weed species,” said Doug Dorsey,
soybean market manager for Mon
santo.
“Wide-row soybeans may re
quire a sequential application of
16 to 24 ounces per acre,” Dorsey
said. “Growers will have a wide
window of application, from
cracking through full flowering.
Research shows that no residual or
tank mixtures will be needed.”
In no-till systems, growers still
should apply a regular bumdown
treatment of Roundup prior to
planting.
