Don’t Let Poor Conditions Rob Your Yield Potential

Crops typically grow slowly in the spring due to cool, wet conditions. These conditions make spring a prime time for early-emerging weeds to take over and threaten a crop’s ability to thrive. Research published by Ohio State University in 2003 clearly demonstrates the need for treating early to protect crops. In corn, results show that weeds as little as four inches tall have the potential to cause a 4.5 bushel-per-acre yield loss.
