Researchers at the University of Missouri say waterhemp, so far, is not developing resistance to dicamba or glufosinate.
MU Extension Weed Scientist Kevin Bradley tells Brownfield his team’s ongoing study is screening more than 200 waterhemp populations across seven Midwestern and Southeastern states including Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Louisiana and Tennessee.
“In just two years of data, luckily, I look at it and I don’t see any major, big change that really concerns me like more survival in year two compared to year one,” Bradley said.
