A dual tank precision sprayer to evaluate the interaction of 2,4‐D choline and quizalofop‐p‐ethyl for control of volunteer corn in corn

open access: yesAgricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 1, June 2025.
Abstract Quizalofop‐p‐ethyl (QPE) can control glufosinate/glyphosate‐resistant corn (Zea mays L.) volunteers in corn resistant to aryloxyphenoxypropionates (Enlist corn). Mixing QPE with broadleaf herbicides such as 2,4‐D choline can be antagonistic. A new precision sprayer with a dual tank/boom system can apply two herbicides simultaneously through ...

Variety choice influences soft red winter wheat yield more than seed treatment

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2025.
Abstract Seed treatments are commonly used to protect most major crops in the United States from seed‐ and soil‐borne pathogens. In winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) systems in the North Central United States, target pathogens include both true fungi like Fusarium spp. or Rhizoctonia spp. and oomycetes like Pythium spp.
