HADSS, the Herbicide Application Decision Support System for field crops, is designed to help you evaluate alternative weed management strategies. It is valid only for the 2007 crop year. We have used our best efforts to develop a computer program that will be beneficial to you. However, you should evaluate program recommendations in the light of your own experience and of advice and information received from other sources. CHECK PRODUCT LABELS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF ANY CHEMICAL.
The weed control recommendations generated by HADSS are based on the manufacturer's label and on data from university experiments. Because environmental conditions and methods of application vary widely, the recommended use does not imply that the performance of a herbicide will conform to that indicated by experimental data. Trade and brand names are used only for information. North Carolina State University, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, and AgRenaissance Software LLC do not guarantee or warrant published standards on any product recommended; neither does the use of a trade or brand name imply approval of any product to the exclusion of others which also may be suitable.
The program allows you to compare the efficacies and economic returns for postemergence herbicides. Tank mixes and sequential treatments are included when appropriate. The program uses information about each field, including species and numbers of weeds, along with environmental conditions, crop selling price, expected weed-free yield, and herbicide costs in arriving at a recommendation. Although treatments are sorted initially by expected net return, you may sort them by efficacy or cost by clicking the mouse on the appropriate column heading on the treatment recommendation screen.
Development of HADSS was supported in part by the American Soybean Association, the Mississippi Soybean Promotion Board, the Corn Growers Association of North Carolina, the North Carolina Soybean Producers Association, the North Carolina Center for IPM, the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions for Soybean and Peanut, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the NSF Center for Integrated Pest Management, Region IV U.S. EPA, and USDA/CSREES.
