Soil incorporation of preemergence herbicides studied
A Southern Illinois University graduate student John Shriver tested five methods to work Amiben Lorox and Treflan into soil for soybeans. Results showed weed control similar across methods, with toxin levels highest in the top inch for Amiben and Lorox and deeper movement for disked and harrowed plots.
