Fall Herbicide Application
A Good Management Practice
TIPTON, Ind. Applying
herbicides now to fields that will
be planted to soybeans in the
spring can be a beneficial man
agement practice for soybean
growers, said experts at Pioneer
Hi-Bred International, Inc.
One early application before
cold weather sets in can help
eliminate winter annuals host
to soybean cyst nematode
(SCN), one of the most devastat
ing of all soybean pests. Fall her
bicide application also provides
many more benefits at spring
planting.

Greene, Pioneer technical infor

few years, however, research at
a number of institutions
throughout the United States
has shown that eliminating
winter annuals with a fall herbi

can help the cyst nematode life
cycle.”

growers will appreciate the
many other benefits as well:
• Enhanced management
A fall application provides ex
cellent bumdown and residual
control, reducing the need for a
burndown in the spring and al
lowing you to get a head start on
planting and spring chores.
• Wider window of opportu
nity Fields that are prepared
for planting offer a wider
window in which to complete
planting. This can be especially
helpful during a cold, rainy

planting delays.
• Cleaner fields Fields
without early weed pressure are
drier and warmer. A dry field
allows earlier planting, while re
ducing the potential for soil
pathogens such as phytophthora
and pythium. A warmer field
gives plants a better chance of
early germination.
• Broadleaf control Tough
broadleaf weeds such as dande
lions, marestail, smartweed, and
chickweed are controlled more
easily.
• Insect control Removing
winter annuals removes early
spring habitat for insects such as
white grub, seed corn maggots,
and wireworms.

should be made before the soil
freezes. Herbicides without re

before cool temperatures limit
