Edge herbicide has been the first defence for weed control in all classes of dry beans in Western Canada for a long time.

On this episode of the RealAgriculture Edible Bean School, host Bernard Tobin is joined by Alan Christison, from Gowan Canada, to discuss how growers can optimize an Edge application and when to consider other options.

In the video, Christison discusses Edge MicroActiv, a granular, soil-applied residual herbicide for pre-emergent weed control. He notes the herbicide will help control Group 2 resistant weeds like kochia, redroot pigweed, lamb’s quarters and wild oats in dry beans, as well as other weeds. The product's unique Group 3 mode of action also plays a valuable role in a herbicide rotation strategy.

Good Edge performance starts with good application, says Christison. The product needs to be spread evenly with an air boom delivery system (no spin spreaders) and also needs to be uniformly applied because it moves very little once applied to the soil. "Lots of retails and custom applicators in dry bean areas have been applying Edge for a long time and do an excellent job," says Christison. He adds that Salford's Valmar spreader lineup is another option for growers to apply the granular product.
