Herbicide Carryover

Description

These plants are stunted and purple, while some also have a bleached appearance. These are the effects of Classic carryover, one of the components in several soybean herbicides. A soil test revealed a pH of 7.2, which was too high for the herbicide to rapidly break down in the soil. In this case, the high pH was due to poor lime incorporation.
