Spotlight on Weeds: University Sugarbeet Weed Scientists Weigh in on a 'Most Vexing' Species for Growers in Their Region

摘要

Editor's Note: In the past, former editor of The Sugarbeet Grower, Don Lilleboe, would reach out to weed scientists in several sugarbeet-producing states to select a single weed species that either (1) had become an increasingly serious problem for sugarbeet growers in their state I region within recent years, or (2) had the potential, in their opinion, to become one in the near future. He would then request basic information on the chosen weed's biology and recommended control measures. The articlesproved to be popular ones. With the passage of several years and the expansion of tolerance or resistance to glyphosate and other herbicides, I thought it would be timely and appropriate to again ask sugarbeet weed scientists to weigh in on this subject.
