Introduction

  • Non-selective herbicides such as glyphosate and Gramoxone are used to control emerged weeds prior to no-till planting. Tank-mixing of a residual herbicide with glyphosate or Gramoxone can be used to improve application efficiency with a "one-pass" weed management program.
  • Refer to Chapter 6, for preplant application rates for glyphosate and Gramoxone.
  • It is also important to note that when targeting perennial weeds, the addition of a triazine-based herbicide (i.e. atrazine, Converge Pro, Primextra II Magnum) will reduce the level of activity achieved with glyphosate. Increasing the rate of glyphosate should overcome this antagonism.
