#Marestail is tough to control post-emergence in #soybeans—many populations resist #glyphosate. Choose #herbicides based on the resistant soybean variety you plant. Limited options mean planning matters. @AmitUNL @MarthaMamo3 @unlagrohort @UNLExtension #WeedControl

🌾 Fall-planted #cerealrye suppresses winter weeds + Palmer amaranth (if terminated after corn planting). Split N apps = stronger corn emergence: at planting + ~3 weeks later. @AmitUNL @MarthaMamo3 @unlagrohort @UNLExtension #CoverCrops #Corn #NebExt #NFieldObs
