Final Opportunity to View Weed Resistance Webinar

In March, Syngenta hosted a live Webinar focused on bringing together third-party resistance experts, along with Syngenta experts, to discuss the state of glyphosate resistance in the U.S., and what can be done about it.

During the live Q&A session at the conclusion of the Webinar, participating retailers asked about the state of glyphosate-resistant lambsquarters.  Dr. Chris Boerboom, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has dealt with lambsquarters issues in his state and discussed issues growers have seen in Wisconsin.  Boerboom also offered suggestions on how to maximize control of lambsquarters, including applying herbicides at the correct time of day, spraying weeds at the appropriate height, using a residual herbicide and specific herbicide options for different situations. (To hear the complete answer, log on and click to hear Question 2: Is my lambsquarters becoming resistant?)

Several other questions were addressed during this session, including ways to encourage growers to take resistance seriously, economic challenges to resistance management strategies, Best Management Practices and specific weed challenges and opportunities.
