[Narrator] [Pictures of showing soybean fields with weeds] Weed pressures can
be reduced next year by making a written record of this year's weed problems.
Before harvesting this year's crop go into your fields and make a written
record of this year's weed situation. [Slide – Before harvest, go into your
fields and record this year's weed situation. Picture of a soybean field.]
[Slide – Record Weed Data; Types of weeds? Which fields? Picture of a soybean
field.]
What types of weeds were in the fields?
Which fields were the weeds located in?
[Slide – Record Weed Data; Herbicides used? What worked? Picture of a soybean
field.]
And what herbicides were used? What herbicides worked and what did not work?
[Slide – Record Weed Data; Make records before harvest. Picture of a soybean
field.]
It is important to record this information before harvest because it will all
be erased in the field after harvest.
[Slide – Consult this information to determine a weed management strategy for
next year and reduce weed pressures. Picture of a soybean field.]
You can consult your information next year to have an idea of what to expect,
what weed management strategies worked and what did not work to ensure a more
productive harvest.
