Most of the traits used in SmartStax have been used in the market place and have been fed to cattle for years with no problems. Monsanto’s YieldGard Traits are being combined with Dow’s Herculex to create an eight-gene stack with a broad range of ...
thanks for the tip on Select Andrew. I'll have to further investigate that as I am using alot of select to control grass in alfalfa this year. It's getting expensive.
Nick: We don't have a lot on corn on corn in our area so this is not a big issue. I was just giving microfarmer some more economical chemical options. It has worked well for us.
Now I know why Ray Jenkins closed the truck dump at Eddyville tomorrow! State Fair!

Andrew, what about corn on corn volunteer, you can not leave the volunteer to get that big.....it works fine on beans, agree on that....

Select costs around $146/gallon here. That comes out to about $1.15 an oz or $6.90/ac at 6 oz and $10.35/ac. That's pretty steep considering that doesnt include application costs which runs about $7/ac here. Every new trait has a disadvantage to d...
Nick: Select Max grass herbicide can be tank mixed to control volunteer corn. Select Max rates typically depend on corn height. Corn 12 inches or less typically needs 6oz. per acre while corn at 24 inches or less needs 9 oz per acre.
