Weed resistance is clearly on the mind of every grower this season. Whether a grower has marestail, waterhemp, or Palmer amaranth in his or her fields or not, John Smith, Regional Agronomist, Winfield United said they should be developing a herbicide stewardship program to try to get in front of the issue. As Smith points out, an over-dependence on glyphosate is what really got us in trouble in the first place.
We had the opportunity to chat with Smith at the 2018 Commodity Classic where he shared some of Winfield United’s strategies using herbicides and adjuvants for weed control.
