For Spinach, Weed Control Timing Is Everything (Reposted from October 2021)

Article – May 17, 2022

Spinach is a widely consumed and versatile crop that is as much about its look as it is about its flavor. For growers, however, a successful spinach harvest is as much about patience as it is about timing. It’s grown on both coasts of the U.S., with varying crop cycles corresponding to varying climates. On the East Coast, there are two main plantings with seeds sown over a protracted growing season of 8-10 months. While on the West Coast, a more temperate climate, spinach is planted continuously throughout the year. With a wide variety of growing strategies employed in different climates and the photosensitivity of the spinach plant, growers are challenged by the lack of herbicides on the market, especially those applicable after planting.

The total number of rice farms and acreage in the US has decreased from 1995 to 2017 yet total rice production has grown. This growth in the market can be primarily attributed to economies of overarching scale and the adoption of new technologies. The rice farming industry has seen the introduction of new rice seed varieties, causing the most significant shift in product the market has ever seen. Precision farming technologies proliferated, such as yield monitors and guidance systems for tractors. Per-acre production costs are higher but so too are rice yields. The introduction of new technologies and methods has resulted in a more productive, accurate, and thriving farm environment.

Drought Conditions Make Uniform Herbicide Application Essential for Growers

Article – April 11, 2022

It is not a new concept that growers need to achieve uniform spray coverage throughout their fields to combat weeds effectively. Even if growers use a quality herbicide in the exact amount recommended per the label, they still may not get optimal control. So much depends on a myriad of factors such as weather conditions, product application, weed pressure, timing of application, etc. Ultimately, eliminating or controlling weeds is fundamental to harvesting a quality crop with the highest yield potential. Therefore careful attention should be given to the application process of herbicides.
