Different pulse crop types need a different weed-free window to reach maximum yield potential. Targeting weeds early — sometime as early as the year before — might be the best way to ensure that yield potential, but that’s not always possible. What’s the best course of action for in-crop weed control?

When planting a grain crop in the spring and caring for those plants throughout the summer, farmers look forward to the full bins that harvest typically brings. Sometimes, drought, hail or pests get in the way, leading to crop yield potential that isn’t worth taking for grain. This is where having a mixed operation or.
