• Rotate to STS soybeans
and use a postherbicide product
such as Synchrony (Classic
plus Pinnacle)
• If burcucumber is present
in soybeans, plant Roundup
Ready soybeans in narrow rows
and plan on two applications of.
A narrow row allows for quick
er soybean canopy and good
weed control. Good control can
be possible with the Roundup
herbicide (make the first appli
cation four weeks after planting
and the next 8-10 weeks after
planting).
• For com, according to Cur
ran, the best programs involve
the use of Exceed, Beacon, and
Marksman herbicides, which
Curran said all work well.
However, residual control may
still be a problem. Use as much
atrazine as legally allowable
(two pounds per acre is maxi
mum rate).
with 16-20 seeds per cluster. “There could be hun
dreds of clusters on a plant,” said Dr. Bill Curran, Penn
State weed specialist.
# WARNING, ALL SILO OWNERS
Check your silo now for rotten staves. If you
have been using your silo for 10 to 15 years
for either corn silage or haylage, It is time
to SHOTCRETE.

• If all else fails, rotate the

or grass hay can control the bur
cucumber problem. However,
remember about the weed when
you rotate back to soybeans.
• Long-term no-till could
also provide an opportunity for
better management of burcu
cumber. Penn State research
shows that burcucumber may
be less of a problem in no-till
and easier to control with herbi
cide, said Curran.
Whatever methods are
employed, growers should be
aware that if left untreated, a
burcucumber problem in the
fields can easily get out of hand.

Burcucumber also known as “wild pickle” has been “exploding” in
many Pennsylvania com fields, said a Penn State weed specialist. According
to Dr. Bill Curran, Penn State associate professor of weed science, the cum
bersome weed can cause heavy damage In corn and soybean fields with
potential significant loss of yields.

Curran said the vine-type weed, which looks Just like a cucumber plant with
broad, five-sided leaves, can branch out through fields of corn and soybeans
for great distances. The plants can choke off corn stalks and envelope soy
