At the recent Ag Media Summit Chuck spoke with FMC’s, Len Dobbins, about the importance of pre-emergent herbicide technology when looking ahead to next year’s growing season.
“FMC has really developed a number of herbicides to be used pre-emergently for soybeans and corn. The interest in pre-emergence has developed because of weed resistance. When we look back a number of years, pre-emergent application on herbicides were kind of the basis growers started their weed control program on. In more recent years it became more singularly focused on post-emergent weed control, but now we are learning we really need to go back and use that foundation product to keep the weed populations down. This allows for our post-emergent herbicides to do a better job when applied.”
Len goes on to share FMC’s products for both soybeans and corn that do just that. During this time of the year, Len said many growers out there are asking what insecticide products FMC offers and he addresses that as well.
