E ʻōwili ma kahi o ka hapalua ma mua o ka puka ʻana o nā hua. I kāna kamaʻilio ʻana ma ka Lā Pī 2024, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e ʻōwili kekahi mau pī ma mua o ke kanu ʻia ʻana, a ma kahi o 5% e ʻōwili ma hope o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o nā pī.
"I kēlā me kēia makahiki, loaʻa iaʻu kahi nīnau. ʻIke ʻoe, ma ke ʻano nui, i ka manawa hea e hiki ai iaʻu ke ʻōwili e pili ana i kaʻu hoʻopili ʻana i ka herbicide koena? Aia kekahi pono i ka pīpī mua ʻana i ka herbicide a laila ʻōwili, a i ʻole ka pīpī mua ʻana i ka herbicide?" a laila ʻōwili i loko?" - wahi āna.
Hoʻokuke ka wili ʻana i nā pōhaku i lalo a mamao aku mai ka mea ʻohiʻohi, akā ʻo ka hana pū kekahi e hoʻopili ai i ka lepo, e like me kahi "hanana ma ke ala huila," wahi a Yackley.
"Ma kahi e paʻa ai kekahi mau mea, ʻike pinepine mākou i ka nui o ke kaomi ʻana o ka mauʻu," wahi āna. "No laila, ua like ke ʻano o ka ʻōwili ʻana o ka huila me kēia. No laila, makemake nui mākou e nānā i ka hopena o ka ʻōwili ʻana i ke kaomi ʻana o ka mauʻu ma ke kula, a laila e nānā hou i ke kaʻina o ka ʻōwili ʻana me ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka herbicide koena."
Ua hana ʻo Eakley a me kāna hui i nā hoʻokolohua "no ka leʻaleʻa wale nō" ma nā soybeans, akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua like ke aʻo o ka moʻolelo me ka mea a lākou i ʻike ai ma hope i nā hoʻokolohua me nā pīni ʻai.

Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia e wehewehe ana ʻo ka ʻōwili ʻana a me ke kau ʻana i ke koena herbicide i ka manawa like, ʻo ia hoʻi ka puka ʻana mai o nā nāhelehele hou aʻe akā ua kaohi ʻia.
