„ Crops Information At Ag Progress
ROCKSPRING (Centre Co.)
New herbicide-resistant com and
soybean culdvars are providing
more weed-control alternatives
for farmers. Visitors can see herbi
cide-resistant com and soybeans
at Penn State’s Ag Progress Days,
Aug. 15-17.
“Advantages of
hetbicide-resistant
crops include greater
flexibility for herbicide
applications and more
effective handling of
hard-to-control» weeds,”
said Dwight Lingenfel
ler, graduate student in
Penn State’s College of
Agricultural Sciences.
“There also are econom
ic advantages.
“Some herbicides can
remain in soil and injure
subsequent plantings in
crop rotations,” Lingen
felter said. “Planting
herbicide-resistant
crops can help alleviate
problems with herbicide
carryover. Herbicides
also can be used on late
emerging weeds in these
crops.”
Several herbicide-re
sistant com and soybean
cultivars will be dis
played at Ag Progress
Days in demonstration
plots near the Crop and
Soil Science Tent, locat
ed at the end of East Sth
Street. Featured will be
the following:
• Rocndup-Ready
soybeans. Registered by
the Environmental Pro
tection Agency this
spring, these soybeans
are resistant to glypho
sate, a commonly used
broad-spectrum post
emergence herbicide.
• Liberty-tolerant
corn and soybeans.
These cultivars, due to
be registered in 1997,
are resistant to glufosin
ate, a broad-spectrum
postemergence herbi
cide.
• Poast-resistant com.
Registered by the EPA
this spring, this com is
resistant to sethoxydim,
a postemergence grass
herbicide.
• STS soybeans.
These soybeans have
been registered for the
past several years and
are tolerant to the sul
fonylurea herbicide
family, which mainly
are used as postemer
gence herbicides.
• IMI com. Also re
gistered for several
years, this com is toler
ant of imidazolinone
and sulfonylurea herbi
cides. This crop is main
ly used for carryover
situations in crop rota
tions and for over-the
top applications of
herbicides.
Chemical companies and re
search institutions are continually
working to develop more resistant
cultivars. “Several have been de
veloped using standard tissue cul
ture techniques, isolating herbi
cide-resistant traits,” said Lingen
felter. “Others have been
genetically engineered by trans
