Abstract
The success of weed management programs, more specifically herbicide programs, varied considerably during 2012 reflecting the importance of environmental conditions on all aspects of crop production. Variability of success was seen not only in the postemergence herbicide applications that continue to dominate herbicide use but also in the soil-applied residual herbicides; all herbicide applications were strongly influenced by tillage system, crop planting date, timing and amount of rainfall, and resulting weed emergence timing. While more soil-applied herbicides were used in Iowa during 2012, there are still too many acres of corn and soybean that are treated only with glyphosate thus moving the evolution of glyphosate resistant weed biotypes forward.
