New Uses for "Old" Chemistry in Resistance Management
Glyphosate resistance has been all over the national news recently. Articles have brought to light the serious threat resistance poses to production agriculture, to many in the general public, which is quite alarming in the context offered. What the mainstream media fail to mention is the viable and safe practices being recommended by weed scientists and industry experts and adopted by growers across the nation to successfully combat glyphosate resistance.
At a recent plot tour in Mt. Olive, N.C., local retailers were able to see how some "old" chemistry being incorporated into resistance management programs performed in field trials. When used in conjunction with Prefix or Flexstar® GT, Boundary® (a premix combination of metribuzin and Dual Magnum®) and Sequence® (a premix combination of Touchdown Total® and Dual Magnum) provided excellent control of several difficult-to-control weeds, including glyphosate-resistant Palmer pigweed.
