The top weed scientist at the University of Missouri says there have been no reports in Missouri yet of dicamba-resistant waterhemp although it has been confirmed in the neighboring states of Illinois and Tennessee.
“Unfortunately, I think we all knew it was just a matter of time.”
Kevin Bradley tells Brownfield Ag News it’s a troubling sign.
“Obviously we don’t want it but it’s just a sign of what could occur here in Missouri.”
Bradley says MU weed scientists are not actively looking for it but will definitely screen a population if farmers notice dicamba isn’t working on their waterhemp or Palmer amaranth.
