It’s important to know what weeds are there and the stages of the weeds and the crop.

When to apply glyphosate to soybeans in Manitoba?

Early weed control is essential to protect Roundup Ready soybean yields, says Dennis Lange, a farm production manager with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Development (MAFRD) in Altona. Glyphosate can be safely applied when soybeans are in the first trifoliate stage right up to flowering.

What kind of herbicide to use on soybeans?

For those growing conventional soybeans (i.e., non-Roundup Ready or Liberty Link), there are several herbicide options available and many of the herbicides discussed above can be used to control weeds.
