Tips on applying dicamba/glyphosate tank mix on Xtend soybeans

The implications of residual control, plus mitigating drift and sprayer cleanout

By Allan Dawson July 6, 2015

Roundup Ready Xtend soybeans, which can be safely sprayed with glyphosate and dicamba, offer many advantages, but there are several things to keep in mind when applying dicamba. Dicamba provides residual weed control — 14 days or even longer under certain conditions, Allan Froese, Monsanto’s technology development representative, said during a field day June 23.

Monsanto’s new glyphosate- and dicamba-tolerant Roundup Ready Xtend soybeans offer improved weed control, including some residual control, potentially higher yields and can help slow the onset of glyphosate-resistant weeds, says Dekalb’s Bruce Murray. Seed is being multiplied now for a commercial launch in 2016 pending their acceptance in China.

In Zambia, it’s practically everywhere. Maize is in tiny garden plots, on small farms, huge estates, in markets and on dinner plates. Since its introduction to Africa by the Portuguese in the 16th century, maize has become the main staple crop in this region. Two megalithic-size cobs even flank the entrance to the Zambia National
