What is a good pre-emerge chemical on Soybeans?

Question

Update*.  We settled on generics of Dual and Sencor.  
What is a good pre-emerge chemical on Soybeans?  We've been using Sonic (Sulfen Cloran), but we've had too many situations where we feel the chemical has hurt the emergence.  We disk corn stalks in the fall and field cultivate in the spring, and spray a Liberty/Roundup mix postemerge.

Answer

What part of the sonic was hurting your emergence?

Answer

I like the Authority products and have had good control with those. Add some Sharpen to the burn down and that will clean it up

Answer

Have used a lot of different mixes and try to change them up every couple years.  Used valor xlt, sonic, metribuzin and even just 2-4d and have good luck with all of them.  We are 100% no till.

Answer

We have had the same issues in higher PH soils where the authority products burn the seedlings. In certain situations we have gone to using Boundary. Last year we ran straight fierce but not fierce XLT and got along just fine.

Answer

I use authority mtz

Answer

Valor worked great for me, in no till.

Answer

We love Zidua Pro with some metrobuzine. Have had great luck in our higher weed pressure acres the past few years trunning that program.

Answer

In our area where guys use sonic we use 4oz sonic + 4 oz metribuzin + r/up and low vol or dicamba depending on timing and bean trait.

Answer

Fierce XLT is a top shelf long lasting broad leaf product. Always adhere to the label as it contains the "Classic" Sulfy ingredient.

Answer

We have used Surveil, intimidater, and gramoxone and dual mixture.  They all worked well, it all depends on the rain

Answer

If you can get your spring tillage done the Authority products work fantastic, we have recently switched to more no-till and in that case we have switched to Zidua-Pro and have had the same results.

Answer

Your issue is with your seed treatment not the sulfen cloran. Illevo will react negatively under cool and wet conditions with any PPO herbicide. I would use a different seed treatment

Answer

No problem. I find that Zidua products also can have the same effect on growth as well. There really aren’t any great soybean pre emergence chemicals that don’t hurt emergence in cool wet weather. If you purchase GT/LL/27 soybeans you can use Alite 27 (balance herbicide) and that would eliminate the issue. Metribuzin is another chemical that is hard on beans as well.

Answer

we are no-til, we use 6 oz sulfentrazone & 1.25 pts generic dual, no injury like sonic.

Answer

We use Matador (3 way of Dual, Pursuit and Metribuzin actives) from Nutrien.  Add gly and LV or Dicamba in no till where burndown is needed.  Have only had to come back with clethodim (vol corn and any grass escapes) and dicamba post (for waterhemp that gly no longer gets) the last several years.

Answer

I use 8-10oz of Verdict with MSO and 1qt of Roundup Powermax.

Answer

We are transeferring from fall planted rye cover crop to no till soybeans. What pre emergence product will benefit us in killing weeds that include kochia?

Answer

6oz Zidua Pro + 4 oz metribuzin does a great job... however its a cadilac program and probably not needed for full tillage systems

Answer

Here’s our top 3 pick that have officially proven themselves worthy to write a check for ! We ran these 3 on our worst weed problem farms in 2019 and we had the cleanest ground we’ve ever had but I must mention our burn down program is 24D,PowerMax and Sharpen then we no-till beans

# Authority Supreme + Pursuit 
# Zidua Pro 
# Anthem Max
