As we move towards spring, it's a good time to start thinking about herbicides and weed management for the coming season.
Looming supply chain issues and the glyphosate shortage and price increase may leave some producers scrambling for pre-burn options this spring. Over the last year, we have seen the price of glyphosate rise significantly due to a storm of factors, including COVID supply chain issues, environmental actions in China, which has reduced outputs, hurricane damage to Bayer's largest glyphosate plant, and extremely high global phosphate prices. The shortage and increased cost of glyphosate creates significant challenges for pre-burn this spring and creates higher demand for tank mixes and alternative products, which could lead to tighter supplies of these products as demands increase.
In this episode of the Wheat Profit Podcast, we will be discussing strategies to compensate for glyphosate shortage and how to make the most of the product we are spraying. We will speak to herbicide expert Eric Johnson and sprayer expert Tom Wolf to provide some insight into strategies for the coming spring.
Eric Johnson is the Research officer for the Crop Imaging and Agronomy Lab at the University of Saskatchewan, and Tom Wolf is the Managing Partner of Agrimetrix.
