THE DEVELOPMENT OF glyphosate resistance has created a challenging obstacle for farmers to tackle at all stages of growth across all crops. Each stage of a crop's development can be affected by weed pressure, which is why control is required in a timely fashion.Dr. Peter Sikkema, field crop weed management associate professor at the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus, believes that by using a variety of agronomic programs and modes of action farmers can ensure the usefulness of glyphosate for many years in the future and reduce the potential for additional glyphosate-resistant weeds. He conveyed this message, along with a lesson on the history of glyphosate, at the 2014 'DuPont Touch Tomorrow: Innovating for Success' conference in London, Ontario attended by retailers and growers.
