PHILADELPHIA -
Midwestern soybean
growers have one over
riding concern when
selecting a herbicide to
use. They don’t want it
to restrict their ability to
rotate to com, wheat or
other crops. Southern
soybean growers are
greatly concerned about
rotation restrictions but
not as concerned as they
are about controlling all
broadleaf weeds with a
single herbicide.
Research to deter
mine what factors influ
ence soybean farmers’
her bicide selection was
done recently by Total
Research Corporation
for FMC Agricultural
Products Group. More
than 1,000 farmers from
across soybean produc
tion areas of the country
were surveyed.
According to the
Authority Research
Survey, rotation restric
tions and controlling all
broadleaf weeds topped
the list ol herbicide ben
efits that farmers deem
the most important,
whether they were mid
wc'tcrn or southern
soybean growers.
“It was obvious that
soybean farmers want
new herbicides that pro
vide total weed control
without restrictions to
their rotated crop,” said
Mick Phillips, FMC
Authority herbicide
venture manager.
Possible rotation
eslrictions for any her
bicide used in soybean
broduction was the
nain consideration for
50 percent of the grow
irs 18 percent in the
midwest and 12 percent
in the south.
Control of all broad
leaves and some grasses
was the top priority by
29 percent of the grow
:rs 14 percent in the
midwest and 15 percent
m the south.
The next most impor
ant decision factor
which would influence
aimers to use a herbi
cide was confidence
.hat it would control
lerbicide resistant
weeds. A total of 21
percent of the farmers
10 percent in the
midwest and 11 percent
n the south listed
his concern.
In a related question,
