Weeds shift from purple to yellow flowers in Illinois fields
Illinois farmers face yellow flowered butterweed and yellow rocket among winter annual weeds in no till fields. Butterweed seeds disperse on wind, and yellow flower stage indicates nearing seed production, so burn down herbicides should be intensified to curb spread. Marestail remains troublesome before soybean planting, with glyphosate resistance possible. Adding Sharpen or metribuzin to glyphosate plus 2 4 D, using MSO, and considering glufosinate or Gramoxone aid control. Tillage can help, and timing matters for thorough uprooting of vegetation. Further biology and control details are available in the Illinois IPM bulletins.
