How well has dicamba or similar products used with glyphosate helped combat resistant broad leaf weeds?
I know this product is not used much west of Manitoba , but it’s becoming pretty important here in the red river valley and south of us.
Lots of states I thought banned its use , because of drift concerns.
I have resistant glyphosate kochia .
What is the best nozzle to use to help minimize drift . It’s scary using that dicambia now that all crops are up!
About three years ago I had half my soybean crop sprayed out due to drift from thus chemical !
Is there a certain formulation that results in safer application ?
Capt USA , how popular is its use in your area.
?

We have had to start using it here also as the resistant kochia has become a problem close to lake manitoba. Bought hypro/john deere nozzles. Uldmax (ultra low drift max)
Ultra course droplets and there is almost zero fines to drift was told to use at 60psi. Best to apply at ground Crack before edible beans are up. Coverage seems very good so far,the odd grassy weed escape but 2nd pass glyphosate will get them

2-3 years ago really popular but the epa ratcheting up cut off date and general uncertainty of it has pushed a lot to enlist beans.
I've never used xtend beans, jumped on enlist train right away. Using dicamba on corn post so wanted to break chemistry.

I used Engenia(dicamba) with my glyphosate on extend beans last year for the first time. Smoked some pretty big kochia plants. Overall very happy with the results. I think the new formulations of Dicamba are supposed to be more stable and less prone to drifting.

Been using it on every acre of beans for the last 3 years, had amazing results on some nasty dirty pieces. It's smoked kochia just fine, but we've used it to hammer our wild buckwheat and round leaf mallow that's seemed almost invincible the last few years.
I use TeeJet TurboTee Induction nozzles, they were the first nozzles on the label and work very good. I also use them for other herbicides when running in more wind. Use lots of water, label says 15gpa+. I spray at 16.5 usually as the Extendimax comes in 15ac jugs so 4 is 60ac and I have a 1000gal tank. I only spray in the morning to avoid inversion, even if the evening looks good I just don't trust it. It's nerve-wracking the first year or two spraying it, but I'm almost more nervous with Liberty now as I have to run much finer droplets to get proper coverage with it.

Out looking at the soybeans today and I am really impressed with the Extendimax in with the second pass of glyphosate. Because it was wet and I didn't want to make ruts the second pass went on quite late and there was lots of pretty big weeds. Clean as a whistle now, it got everything. 8-)  |

I did a first pass Extendmax and then an R3 Glyphosate 2nd pass and also very impressed with the job it did.
