Nebraska just came off its second warmest winter on record that opened the door for early fieldwork in Southeast Nebraska. One farmer decided to try an early start with his soybeans. May frost rolled through, it forced some tough decisions.

In general, chemical nematicides move more readily in coarse-textured soils than fine-textured soils, assuming adequate water infiltration.

As a result, chemical nematicides often have a larger zone of root protection in coarse-textured soils than in fine-textured soils such as silts and clays.

Moreover, the zone of protection is more vertical like a “chimney” to protect the developing taproot rather than horizontal to protect lateral roots. 

Therefore, seed-applied nematicides typically work better in strongly tap-rooted crops such as cotton and soybean compared to fibrous root systems like corn.

Only a few herbicides are formulated with an adjuvant package that can optimize application in every scenario. Herbicides often need additional adjuvants to optimize application for specific conditions.
