State Line Crops Conference February 3, 2022
Kansas State Research and Extension and University of Missouri Extension is partnering to hold a State Line Crops Conference on February 3 from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Lamar First Baptist Church in Lamar, Missouri.
Crop producers are facing some difficult times. Though commodity prices are higher than they were in 2021, inputs, especially fertilizer, have seen a drastic increase. Machinery, fuel, seed, etc. have all risen, but the one topic that keeps rising to the surface now is the cost of fertilizer. That is why the topics covered at this conference are very timely.
Program topics include:
- Budgeting for high nitrogen prices – Dorivar Ruiz Diaz, KSU
- Maximizing your tech resources, utilizing yield monitor to improve yield – Kent Shannon, MU
- Keeping with the rotation, is it worth it? – Ray Massey, MU
- Interpreting and using soil test – James Coover, KSU
The event is free to attend and lunch is provided, but registration is required. To register via the link below, or call 417-682-3579. ~ RSVP by January 27 to guarantee your meal.
Sponsors for the event include Show Me Youth Ag Academy, Barton County SWCD, Community National Bank and Trust, Lamar Bank and Trust Company, Arvest Bank, Missouri Extension and K-State Extension.
New EPA Label Decisions will Likely Impact the use of Enlist Products in Five Southwest Missouri Counties in 2022
This week, the EPA released a decision that will prevent the use of the herbicides Enlist One (2,4-D choline) and Enlist Duo (2,4-D choline + glyphosate) in five southwestern Missouri counties. These counties include Barton, Bates, Cedar, St. Clair, and Vernon.
These labeling decisions have been made by EPA primarily based on concerns surrounding the protection of endangered species that may "use corn, cotton, or soybean fields for diet and/or habitat". The registrant of these products, Corteva, has indicated that they have already completed additional studies that could address the EPA concerns and so it is possible that some county restrictions may be removed in the coming months, but it is too early to speculate.
Assuming the county restrictions hold for the 2022 growing season, the obvious question being asked by growers who reside in these counties and who had already purchased Enlist soybean seed with the intention of applying the Enlist products is, "What should I plan on doing for my weed management program now?" For growers who find themselves in this situation and have glyphosate-resistant waterhemp (which applies to most of the fields in our state), I would encourage them to use an effective pre-emergence residual herbicide that contains multiple modes of action at or near planting, and plan on coming back post-emergence with a timely application of a glufosinate product.
At the time of this post-emergence glufosinate application, I would also suggest another group 15 residual herbicide (products that contain S-metolachor, acetochor, pyroxasulfone, etc.) which is a program that is referred to as an overlapping or layered residual approach. Overall, this is a program that is still effective on the majority of waterhemp populations in our state. If you are certain that you do not have glyphosate resistance in your waterhemp, a similar approach that includes glyphosate instead of the glufosinate can be followed.
For the remainder of the state where these products will be allowed (non-highlighted counties in Figure 1), it should also be noted that there will be additional new label restrictions that are directed towards reducing off-target movement and protecting endangered species. Some of the more notable of these include: no applications permitted when rainfall is expected within 48 hours or when soils are fully saturated; no irrigation that could produce runoff within 48 hours after application; requirement of a downwind 30-foot buffer; and no applications permitted after soybean crops are in bloom. All applicators should check the modified labels to make sure they comply with these new requirements prior to use in the 2022 growing season.
