Fall Alfalfa Removal Using Herbicides |

Alfalfa is a key crop in many rotations within Wisconsin, but if not successfully removed it can be troublesome in subsequent crops. This is especially true in no-till systems. This experiment was conducted on Roundup Ready alfalfa, as concern exists in the ability to remove this crop without the use of glyphosate as this is the most common herbicide used to remove alfalfa.

With fall just around the corner it’s a great time to consider treating biennial and perennial thistles. Research has shown the fall timing to be an effective time to treat these as long as foliage isn’t damaged by frost.

Collecting Lambsquarters Seed for Testing Plant Response to Glyphosate |

|
|
We’re interested in continuing our testing of common lambsquarters populations that have escaped control with glyphosate. If there is no readily apparent reason for the lambsquarters to escape control, these lambsquarters may have a low level of resistance to glyphosate. We want to test seedlings from these plants this winter in our continuing effort to better understand potential changes in lambsquarters sensitivity to glyphosate.
