ALS-Inhibiting Herbicide Injury
scouted June 2, 2023
- Background
- Soybeans were scouted at the VC (cotyledon) growth stage and stunted plants along with yellowing of leaves were observed.
- Conclusion
- This issue was confirmed by an NC State Extension Specialist as injury from an ALS-Inhibiting Herbicide. In this environment, the cool temperatures following planting could have synergized symptomology. Symptoms associated with ALS-inhibiting herbicide injury include plant stunting, root stunting, chlorosis, and purpling of leaf veins. Initial injury can be mistaken for nutrient deficiency.
