In this episode of the Agronomy Answers podcast, Zach is joined by Matt Thompson, Hefty Naturals brand manager, to explain what the herbicide tax is and why every foliar herbicide application comes with an energy cost to the crop.
They break down what happens inside the plant after applications of products like glyphosate and dicamba, why early season timing matters, and how herbicide stress can quietly reduce yield potential. The conversation also covers real field data and how certain tools can help crops recover faster without sacrificing weed control.
If you enjoy practical agronomy, research driven insights, and honest conversations about what actually impacts yield and profitability, this episode is for you.
