In the days of glyphosate, all the wanted plants in most fields were glyphosate-tolerant. Drift was not easily noticed be- cause no ill effects could be observed. With dicam- ba, tolerant soybeans would show no ill effect, but sus- ceptible soybean varie- ties would show symptoms with very little exposure. Drift has to be monitored closely. With the new ca- pability to spray 2,4-D over the top, drift potential still must be monitored close- ly. Glyphosate is still able to be sprayed over almost any soybean, and corn, plant. The decision whether to plant soybeans that are tolerant of 2,4-D or dicam- ba, but not both, creates the possibility for error. From a weed perspec- tive, the new technologies, mixed with well-trained farmers, are cleaning up fields nearly as well as when glyphosate first hit the market. Recent reports have stated that the weed seed bank will be a little higher in 2020, after the wet 2019 resulted in more prevented planted acres that potentially grew up in weeds a little bit before a sprayer could get through the field. New herbicide programs will help miti- gate this problem. Non- GMO acres have a lot less options, but herbicides still exist to take care of these acres. Organic acres have fire. Flame-throwing at- tachments for the back of tractors exist. Smart sen- sors that can spot flame in- dividual weeds exist. The future is bright for agri- culture.
