Addressing Weed and Grass Pressure to Improve Crop Stand in South Carolina

June 10, 2024

DATE | June 2024

LOCATION | Dillon, SC

CROP | Soybeans

THREAT | Weeds and Stand Count

MISSION | 1 2 3 4 5 6

Weed and grass competition can severely impact crop stands, especially in dry conditions, making timely intervention crucial.

PROBLEM

Weed and grass pressure were identified in the northwest section of the field using field health data and high-resolution imagery.
With no precipitation for the past three weeks, the stand count suffered as weeds robbed essential water and nutrients, resulting in a 66% stand versus the expected target.

RECOMMENDATION

Create a zone map of the field to develop a precise prescription application map, ensuring targeted and efficient herbicide use.

OPPORTUNITY

Retailer Opportunity
Build trust and long-term loyalty by recommending targeted herbicide applications that deliver measurable ROI while maintaining effective weed control.

Grower Opportunity
Save on herbicide costs through precision spraying, reducing inputs without sacrificing crop health or yield.
