A potential new alternative crop in Nebraska is hops, used in the brewing industry. However, hops are one of several crops sensitive to dicamba herbicides. A segment about DriftWatch provides increased awareness about off-target dicamba movement.
Increasing concerns about off-target dicamba drift has led to increasingly specific product and equipment handling, application and cleanup. This video describes how to properly clean out equipment, to avoid even minute residues from harming off-target crops and plants.
Increasing concerns about off-target dicamba drift has led to increasingly specific product and equipment handling, application and cleanup. This video describes how to properly calibrate equipment to avoid off-target dicamba movement.
Applicators of dicamba products, now classified as restricted use pesticides, need to keep up on new techniques and label changes to help prevent herbicide movement, and to keep other crops and plants safe. Nebraska Extension Cropping Specialist Greg Kruger explains how to calibrate and clean out equipment to achieve those goals.
