Effective weed control requires early detection and strategic planning to prevent yield loss.
PROBLEM
From the first missions, a high density of waterhemp was detected in the field.
As the season progressed, the waterhemp issue persisted, and pigweeds began to emerge, reaching a stage where they can no longer be effectively controlled.
RECOMMENDATION
For this season, the weeds under the canopy cannot be addressed due to their advanced growth stage.
However, knowing this field is prone to weed problems, a different and more aggressive management program should be planned for the next season.
OPPORTUNITY
Early weed detection indicated an opportunity for additional herbicide applications, which could have mitigated the problem.
Collaborating with the grower and advisor to develop a comprehensive management plan will be crucial for future success.
With a likely substantial yield loss this season, this situation provides a strong basis for discussing more effective strategies going into the next growing season.
