All of this is only possible thanks to the vision, dedication, and hard work of an incredible group of individuals who constantly go the extra mile. Truly grateful to work alongside such a passionate, talented, and driven team, the powerhouse behind the 2025 #WiscWeeds program!

🎯 Size matters when managing #waterhemp! Effective foliar herbicides work best when this weed is 3 inches or smaller. 🚨 Wait too long, and control drops fast. With heat and moisture, waterhemp takes off quickly! ⚠️ I know, easier said than done. This spring/summer has been

Plot signs, logistics, equipment checks, early mornings, and yes, coffee & donuts. Go behind the scenes of a #WiscWeeds Extension field day with Alice Lazzari and see the teamwork that makes it all happen!

Highlights from our #WiscWeeds research with the Ecorobotix 2m ARA Ultra-Precision Sprayer prototype! We’re impressed by its precision and versatility; herbicide savings have been substantial in our plots. The enclosed spray chamber lets us apply treatments even when wind

Excited to share our latest work: “Stakeholder assessment of weed management practices and perceptions of targeted spraying technologies in corn-soybean systems” by Zaim Ugljic et al. (2025) This survey-based study provides timely insight into how growers, crop consultants, and

Tonight on The Agronomists at 8 pm E, host Peter Johnson is joined by Tom Wolf of Agrimetrix and Zaim Ugljic, a PhD candidate at UW–Madison, to discuss precision spray technology, spot spraying, variable rate spraying, and more! Watch live 👉 realagriculture.com/live

📅 Save the Date (September 11, 2025)! Join us for the 2025 Wisconsin Extension Weed Management Workshop at Arlington Ag Research Station. This year we’ll be focusing on novel targeted herbicide application technologies (aka See & Spray)! Hope to see you there.

Excited to share our latest work: “Influence of glufosinate mixtures on waterhemp control and soybean yield” by Nikola Arsenijevic et al. (2025) #Glufosinate alone provided effective #waterhemp control, so mixtures didn’t improve efficacy. However, as we continue to rely on

It was a phenomenal experience speaking with Peter Johnson, Tom Wolf and Rodrigo Werle about targeted application technologies. We’re looking forward to more insightful discussions in the future! realagriculture.com/2025/07/the-ag…

Excited to share our latest work: “Termination strategies for high biomass cereal rye cover crop in soybean planting green systems” by Jacob Felsman et al. (2025) Combining roller-crimper with glyphosate was an effective strategy for terminating high-biomass cereal rye

Troubling news out of Illinois! Our Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board sponsored research is also detecting signs of Group 15 (S-metolachlor) resistance in Wisconsin #waterhemp populations.

Honored to present my PhD research on targeted herbicide application technologies to the MS-23/6 committee at the ASABE.org meeting in Toronto. Grateful for the support, exciting to see where ag innovation is heading! Looking forward to next year. Rodrigo Werle UW–Madison CALS

Great week last week to get some drone applications in for my Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board funded research. Started the week off with R3 white mold fungicide applications. Thank you Mark Kendall for the assistance! Looking forward to seeing these results. Shawn Conley Damon L. Smith

Continued the week by applying foliar micronutrients to a historically Mn deficient field to assess the utilization of drones for these applications as part of my Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board funded research. Big thanks to A Roth and Fabiano Colet for the help! Shawn Conley
