Early-season herbicide injury to soybean will be one stop on the 2016 Mizzou IPM tour.

Integrating pre-emergent, residual herbicides with cover crops in soybean production systems will be discussed at the 2016 Mizzou IPM Field Day.

Weed management research topics that will be discussed this year include the effects of soybean seed treatments on early season herbicide injury; the integration of pre-emergent, residual herbicides with cover crops in soybean production; comparisons of new herbicide-resistant soybean systems; best management practices for herbicide applications; a variety of research results and topics pertaining to the management of herbicide-resistantweeds, and many other topics and periodic stops along the guided tour.

Lunch will be served at noon after which attendees will have the opportunity to view plots that showcase a variety of herbicide treatments and weed management programs for use in corn, soybean, or grain sorghum. These plots will be clearly labeled and mapped out so that they can be viewed easily.
