WeedSOFT Yield Loss and Tank Mix Calculators Now Available on the Web
By Kevin Bradley

The WeedSOFT yield loss and tank mix calculators are now available on the web free of charge at the following site: http://weedsoft.unl.edu/weedsoftApps.htm. These calculators are the same tools offered as components of the WeedSOFT software which typically costs users $50 to purchase. If you are not familiar with WeedSOFT, this program is a decision support system (DSS) designed to assist growers, consultants, and extension agents in making both proactive and reactive weed management decisions. WeedSOFT provides you with the treatment information you need according to your specific field conditions while factoring in economic and environmental principles. The software also contains other management tools such as the yield loss and tank mix calculators. The yield loss calculator is a tool that enables you to estimate the season-long yield loss, as well as the yield loss that has already occurred, for corn and soybeans that are at a particular growth stage. It will also estimate the additional yield loss that may occur if you delay treatment. The tank mix calculator is a tool that enables you to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for a field and the amounts to add per tank load. More information on the WeedSOFT software can be found at http://weedsoft.unl.edu/.
