Weed Management, Weed Escapes, and Targeted Control Practices Survey

A collaborative research project is underway with weed scientists from KSU, UNL, and UW. As part of this effort, they have created a survey for growers, consultants, and extension personnel.

The objective of the 2021 Soybean and Corn Weed Management, Weed Escapes, and Targeted Spraying Technologies SURVEY is to understand the main chemical weed control strategies and weed escapes in soybean and corn production fields in the US during the 2021 growing season and to evaluate the interest and awareness regarding novel targeted herbicide spraying technologies (e.g., Seek & Spray systems, Drone-Mounted Weed Sensors and Sprayers).

You can access the survey at: tinyurl.com/p65vkw3b

Your time participating in this survey is much appreciated and your responses will be of great value to our future weed management research and extension efforts.
