Watch the interview with Dr. Bryan Young, Professor of Weed Science, Purdue University and Dr. Glen Obear, Director of Research, Development, and Innovation at Exacto below and listen to the latest information about what Bryan is working on.
Watch the interview to hear Dr. Young’s perspectives on a range of topics, including:
Bryan’s passion for production agriculture has guided his research direction over the years to deliver practical advice for growers. The department’s current research focuses on a broad range of issues affecting corn and soybean in Indiana ranging from weed resistance, and soybean resiliency to optimizing the application.
For the future, Bryan sees a more integrated approach to researching how for example applications, cover crop, electrocution, and row spacing, for example, work together to optimize results for growers.

Pre-emergence herbicide applications offer a valuable tool to prevent or reduce weed infestations early in the season. While these applications are helpful, it can be a challenge to achieve optimum results. Adjuvant use is increasing and studies continue to prove their effectiveness.
Leaders from Exacto and other companies recently took part in advocacy activities in Washington, DC, engaging in twenty-four meetings with congressional leadership, senators, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They addressed a major challenge related to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Failed weed control may resemble herbicide resistance, but it’s not always the culprit. Recent cases of HPPD-inhibitor (group 27) herbicide failures have shown that certain application errors are more common culprits than resistance. This research shows ways to overcome these application challenges.
