Controlling Weeds Post Harvest In Winter Wheat Cropwatch Nebraska When thinking about weed control in wheat stubble, there are two priorities – controlling already emerged weeds and preventing later flushes. making applications before weeds exceed 4 to 6 inches is necessary for good control of already emerged weeds (figure 1). Herbicides can be applied after wheat harvest to control weeds still actively growing. weeds of large size (greater than 6 inches) may not be effectively controlled; weed control will be dependent on what weed species are present and the selected herbicide.

Weed control in wheat, especially grassy weeds, can be problematic in major wheat growing regions with little crop rotation. to combat this issue, two herbicide trait systems have been developed to assist wheat growers in weed control. To control weeds that have not sprouted after a wheat harvest, lancaster encourages producers to choose a herbicide with residual activity. “it is easy to see the weeds that have emerged through wheat stands because they rapidly grow after taking the (wheat) canopy off when harvesting,” she said.

Timely control of weeds after winter wheat harvest can limit soil moisture loss to weeds and prevent the deposit of more weed seeds in the soil — two factors that can benefit the next crop's yield. Post wheat harvest leaves an excellent opportunity to incorporate fall cover crops into your production system. here’s five reliable options for cover cropping after wheat to get you started. After the wheat has headed, look for warm season weeds that may be emerging and could potentially cause problems for harvesting equipment, as well as producing seed that could be spread during harvest operations.
