This document addresses an effective method of reducing the use of herbicides in corn and soybean : banded herbicide application. This method, used in combination with mechanical cultivation for integrated weed management, helps reduce production costs without jeopardizing crop yield. It also helps reduce both environmental and health hazards associated with the use of herbicides.
