Spring Crop Protection Programs: Planning Ahead

Spring crop protection planning works best before the planter is rolling. Residual herbicides for corn, soybeans, and wheat help with early weeds and resistance management, but only if product, rate, and activation rainfall align with your fields.

Map weed history by field. Waterhemp and other tough species reward layered residuals more than a single hope pass.

Many effective programs use overlapping residuals with different sites of action, then a planned post pass. Check crop rotation restrictions and plant-back intervals before you fall in love with a mix.

Application timing—fall, early preplant, or preemergence—must match label rules and your spring workload.

The best paper program fails if product is not on the farm in time. Review pre-emergent soybean program options with Roush Ag Solutions and request pricing while there is still time to adjust.
