Abstract: A tillable anchor has a number of planar sides, typically four, attached to a base and to one another, forming an enclosed structure with a cavity therein. Attachment points for a deployment line and for mooring lines are provided. After the empty anchor is deployed to the seafloor or other water bottom, an inlet and an outlet permit placement of a flowable weight material into the cavity. The anchor may have an extended skirt around the base to enhance holding capability.

Abstract: A method of improving the yield of a soybean plant is provided, comprising the steps of applying an effective amount of a first herbicidal treatment composition to the soil surface prior to soybean plant emergence, followed by applying an effective amount of a second herbicidal treatment composition to soybeans post-emergence. The first herbicidal treatment composition comprises isoxaflutole, while the second herbicidal treatment composition comprises glyphosate and/or glufosinate.

Abstract: A method of improving the yield of a soybean plant is provided, comprising the step of applying an effective amount of an herbicidal treatment composition to the soil surface prior to emergence of soybeans; i. e., prior to, during, or after planting of soybeans, including after germination, but before plant emergence from the soil surface. The herbicidal treatment composition comprises isoxaflutole.
