Herbicides

We are behind the agronomist in our use of modern organic herbicides, but we can do a lot more in the future than we've done in the past if we understand the problem. There are a number of proven agronomic herbicides that we can use directly in our seedbeds to reduce this weed problem. But, the first characteristic we need in a herbicide is crop tolerance. We need to kill the weed and not the crop plant. Our work at Auburn has been aimed at establishing tolerance levels.
