This season brings several new corn and soybean herbicides to the market. While some of these herbicides are marketed specifically for use in herbicide-resistant crops, others can also be used to reduce the risk of early-season weed competition. All but one of these herbicides contain active ingredients that have been previously marketed.

Near record wheat commodity prices coupled with increasing input costs for corn and soybean prompted many Wisconsin growers to increase their wheat acres in 2007. As the ice and snow begins to dissipate over the next few weeks it is critical that we accurately assess the winter injury to the wheat crop and make the appropriate management decisions regarding the wheat stand, nitrogen timing, and yield potential.

EPA issued final orders in 2006 cancelling the registrations of all products containing the pesticide lindane, including those products used as a seed treatment on grain. Although end-use products containing lindane no longer can enter the channels of trade, end users (i.e., co-ops, applicators, etc.) have until October 1, 2009 to use existing products already in the channels of trade.

Although the snow has yet to melt, it will soon and winter wheat should be off to a quick start. One nice advantage with winter wheat is weed management. Winter wheat is very competitive with weeds and many fields frequently do not need a herbicide application for weed control in Wisconsin.
