5 Challenges No Post Broadleaf Control Options

6 Challenges Broadleaf Control in a Broadleaf Crop

7 Challenges Residual Chemistry Limited Options Low Use Rates Group 3 Root Pruning on Lambsquarters

8 Challenges Herbicide Carryover Rotational Restrictions

9 Challenges 2017 US Acres by Crop Corn 90,000,000 Soybeans 85,000,000 Wheat 50,000,000 Chickpeas 500,000

10 Challenges Crop Competition

27 Pre Plant Considerations Volatility Sonalan Sharpen Pursuit Prowl H2O Binding Characteristics Pursuit (imazethapyr) Imidazolinone Herbicides are strongly bound to OM at ph <6.5. Reductions in ph as small as 0.2 ph units can double the amount adsorbed.
