Synchrony-STS-
herbicide
2,300 Acre Delaware Soybean Grower Believes
The Synchrony™STS™ System
is the Most Profitable Approach
to Growing Soybeans.
“I have had a total 0f2,000 acres of STS soybeans sprayed with a tank mix of Synchrony and a post grass herbicide for the last two
years and it has all been with one trip with clean beans at harvest.
This year, the bottom line of why I have decided to go with 2,300 acres of Synchrony on both first crop and wheat beans is that this
is the lowest cost way of growing a bushel of soybeans. When 1 look at the seed costs, proven yields and the herbicide costs, it is clear
to me that the lowest cost way to grow a bushel of soybeans is with STS soybeans sprayed with Synchrony plus a postemergence grass
herbicide like Select or Assure 11.
With Synchrony on STS wheat beans, I like the added flexibility of the Synchrony treatment; I can wait until the weather is right to
spray for the best results and I don’t spray until it looks like the weather will allow me to have a crop to harvest. If drought
conditions set in, I have not lost a lot of money on higher priced seed.
With $5.00 soybeans it is good to have $5.00/acre Synchrony for STS soybeans.”
