New Guide Helps Determine Herbicide Injury to Small Grain

A new publication, "Herbicide and Nonherbicide Injury Symptoms on Spring Wheat and Barley," is available to help individuals determine the cause of injury on wheat and barley. It contains pictures showing injury symptoms caused by various classes of herbicides through misapplication, drift or tank contamination. It also provides pictures and descriptions of symptoms of several injuries not caused by herbicides, including those caused by cultural practices, environmental factors, fungal diseases, insect damage, nutrient deficiencies, soil pH and viral diseases.

The guide is a joint publication of the North Dakota State University Extension Service and the Minnesota Extension Service, and may be ordered at a cost of $3.50 plus postage and handling from NDSU by calling (701) 231-7882, or from the University of Minnesota Extension Service by calling (800) 876-8636.
