With glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth (pigweed) rapidly spreading north and glyphosate-resistant waterhemp wreaking havoc on many acres across the Midwest, retailers and growers alike are looking for weed-management solutions.

There are plenty of reasons to keep machinery clean—improved performance, longer working life—but here’s one that might not be high on a grower’s radar: stopping the spread of weeds.

BASF has launched a comprehensive new resource to help farmers develop effective weed control programs — the Advanced Weed Control web site.

Purdue weed scientist's with the assistance of Purdue extension educators and various agricultural industry reps have identified corn and soybean fields in northwestern Indiana that have Palmer amaranth infestations.

The months between this year’s harvest and next spring’s planting are prime time for winter annual weeds to take over fields.

While the extended periods of hot, dry weather Ohio has experienced in recent weeks may mean that weeds aren't growing as fast as they would in more moist conditions, the weather can still have an adverse effect on weed management for growers, an Ohio State University Extension expert said.

With many acres of Roundup Ready crops being planted, properly managing herbicides, especially glyphosate, to prevent resistance is always a challenge.

The mild winter and early spring conditions we’ve seen may have implications for this season’s weed and pest control.
