Tips to reduce dicamba drift

Cleaning out the spray tank is a critical step for 
preventing damage to other crops

Crop Diagnostic School: It doesn't hurt to check your water source if you think your herbicide is underperforming

By
With the amount of time and expense producers put into spraying glyphosate, they need to know that their efforts will be rewarded with dead weeds as much as possible. But did you know there could be minerals hiding in your water source that can reduce glyphosate’s effectiveness? At the recent Crop Diagnostic School, Allan Dawson
