Herbicide options in dry beans are limited compared to other common row crops in Nebraska, such as corn or soybean. With the increasing prevalence of Acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor and Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth and kochia in Nebraska dry bean acres, dry bean growers have few herbicide options for controlling weeds within dry bean crops. Consequently, corn and other rotational crops, with more diverse herbicide options available, are key tools for controlling difficult weeds prior to rotating to dry bean.
