A few years ago , a group of weed scientists showed that soil-applied herbicides are less effective against agricultural weeds in the context of our changing climate.

Now, the same research group, led by the USDA Agricultural Research Service and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , has shown the same is true of post-emergence ( POST ) herbicides.

If farmers can't control weeds with PRE or POST herbicides, corn and soybean yields will suffer.
