BackgroundonHerbicideResistantCrops
• RoundupReady(RUR)AgronomicCrops– Revolutionizedweedmanagement
– Increasedno‐tillpractices– Glyphosateappliedpostemergentduringcropseasonprovidedexcellentbroad‐spectrumweedcontrol
– RURCrops–soybean,corn,cotton,sugarbeet,canola
RURWeedManagement
• Technologyhasnotbeenperfect• Highselectionpressureonweeds• Multipleapplicationswithinyears
• Resistantweedsevolved– 21weedsworldwideareresistant– 3majorweedsinINconfirmed
• Marestail,giantragweed,waterhemp
– Othersuspected
Waterhemp In the last 15 years, it has emerged as one of the most
problematic weeds to control in soybeans and corn Documented resistance to triazines, ALS inhibitors, and PPO’s (not as widespread as ALS resistance at the current time)
Best options for postemergence control in soybean besides PPO’s
Glyphosate Glufosinate (Liberty) Hand removal?
Triple-Stack Corn - Yield Gard CB - Yield Gard RW - Roundup Ready
Triple-Stack Corn - Herculex I - Herculex RW - Liberty Link
Triple-Stack Waterhemp - ALS resistant - PPO resistant - Glyphosate resistant
