On his research farm south of Stuttgart, Ark., Ronnie Helms has many "what if?" rice and soybean plots planted.
Checking STS soybeans for tolerance of the herbicide Permit is the aim of this four-plot study. "The far left is an untreated check - the plot holds a Roundup STS bean that's tolerant to Permit," says Helms. "The second plot is 1.3 ounces of Permit over-the-top to an STS-tolerant variety. The third plot is an STS soybean with no tolerance to Permit applied at a tenth of a rate (.13 ounces). The fourth plot is 1.3 ounces of Permit applied to a non-tolerant STS soybean."
