If conditions are getting too dry there could be a problem with herbicide carryover next season. Generally, the further west you go this year the drier it becomes. Your chances for carryover damage come planting time depends on soil characteristics, herbicide chemical properties and what turn the weather takes. Agronomist Bob Berkevich with Pioneer reminds you, while this season’s crop may be well-suited to the herbicide used, a rotational crop could be susceptible to injury. First signs of injury often show up at emergence, especially with cold, wet soils or soil compaction. Berkevich advises reviewing spray records to see what restrictions are indicated.
