SOYBEAN HERBICIDE TRAIT OPTIONS

Soybean herbicide tolerance traits have been part of the Ontario soybean growing landscape for many years. With more glyphosate tolerant weeds emerging, there is a need for more herbicide traits to control these weeds and the use of different chemistry, including conventional soybean herbicides to slow selection pressure on weed populations for developing new tolerances.
 
The market place has been fairly straightforward with herbicide traits and growers have done a good job of managing them.
 
Newer herbicide trait packages have gone to a triple stack and this can add confusion to soybean herbicide tolerance when spraying. Growing multiple traits from multiple seed companies will add to the confusion. Below is a chart demonstrating the soybean trait and which herbicides each trait is tolerant to.

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
