New Year’s Resolution: Weed Management
Every year people make New Year's resolutions that quickly fall by the wayside. This year, stick to yours. Glyphosate weed resistance is a problem that is going to get worse before it gets better and when it comes to tackling tough weeds, the best defense is a good offense. If you haven't already done so, developing a multi-year, resistance management program to diversify your operation is the best protection one can provide. Industry leaders and university experts say spending money now to be proactive outweighs the losses incurred and additional costs needed once the problem has been established, saving a lot in the long run.
