A few words from Dr. Eric Prostko, UGA Weed Specialist, on the subject of soybean desiccation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, I have been getting a few inquiries about soybean desiccation and harvest aids. A few reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Official soybean harvest aid rec’s from from the 2024 UGA Pest Control Handbook (pages 263-264);<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, these two states collectively planted ~3.42 million acres of soybeans and my colleagues in these states have done a significant amount of research on this topic. Thus, they might know what they are talking about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Louisiana State University:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
