Title

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Twice applied wick glyphosate effectively controlled johnsongrass.
- Intervention effect Wick glyphosate controlled 92% of johnsongrass versus 51% after conventional preplant application.
- Observation No visible soybean injury was seen.
- Intervention effect Wick or recirculating sprayer glyphosate controlled rhizome johnsongrass.
- Intervention effect Wick or recirculating sprayer glyphosate controlled volunteer corn.
- Intervention effect Treating volunteer corn with the recirculating sprayer reduced soybean yield more than the rope wick.
- Mechanism The authors attributed the yield reduction to herbicide splattering.
