Wisconsin Herbicide Mode of Action Chart

By Daniel H. Smith,

The Nutrient and Pest Management and the Wisconsin Cropping Weed Science programs have recently updated the Wisconsin herbicide mode of action chart. This publication provides herbicide mode of action, group number, site of action, chemical family, active ingredient, and example trade names for herbicides currently registered in Wisconsin. The second page of the chart details registered herbicide combination products in Wisconsin including the trade name, active ingredients, trade name examples included in the premix, and site of action group.

With the widespread occurrence of herbicide-resistant weeds, it’s important that farmers and crop advisors select effective herbicides from multiple sites of action. The intent of this publication is to help farmers and crop advisors understand the different sites of action and products registered in Wisconsin and assist with their herbicide selection.

Video: Robotics and Automation for Weed Management

Dr. Jed Colquhoun explores the rapidly evolving field of robotics and automation in agricultural weed management. He contextualizes the need for alternative weed control methods due to rising herbicide resistance, regulatory restrictions, and labor shortages. The presentation showcases cutting-edge technologies such as laser weeders, spot cultivators, and AI-driven imaging systems, with a focus on real-world research using the Carbon Robotics laser weeder in onion production. Viewers will learn about the effectiveness, precision, and potential yield benefits of these tools, as well as their fit in high-value crops and labor-limited systems. The video concludes with a look at future directions in automation and commercialization for farms of all sizes.
