Roundup Ready Canola Hard To Handle In Soybeans

Volunteer Roundup Ready canola can be a challenge to manage in Roundup Ready soybeans and it's becoming more of an issue as the soybean growing area expands west and north.

Ron Gendzelevich of Quarry Seed says they've been doing trials over the last 2 years to try and figure out a solution.

"There's quite a few herbicides you can use but there does need to be figured out which ones work the best under what circumstances," he said.

Gendzelevich notes zero-till practices actually make things more difficult.

He expects to see a soybean developed in about five years that will be able to control Roundup Ready canola.
