There is a new “Mid-Atlantic Field Crop Weed Management Guide” developed by weed specialist from Penn State, Univ. of Delaware, Univ. of Maryland, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia Univ. The 240-page guide covers corn, sorghum, soybean, small grains, and hay and pastures. The guides includes information on commonly used herbicides for these crops, including relative effectiveness for burndown, preemergence, and postemergence control of most of the common weeds in the region. There are tables on premixes and what is included in the premixes, and a section on management of problem weeds. The guide is available in the Delaware county offices for $15 or can be ordered on-line at http://extension.psu.edu/publications/agrs136. Available on-line are the printed copies for $20 + shipping; an enhanced pdf copy for use on computers and tablets for $10 or both a hard copy and pdf for $25 + shipping. A free low resolution pdf is available at http://extension.udel.edu/ag/weed-science/weed-management-guides/. Note the low resolution version is not “searchable”.
