Understanding Inconsistent Performance of Glufosinate for Waterhemp Control

Illinois farmers know that waterhemp is not easy to control, especially as resistance grows. In this webinar, Dr. Patrick Tranel highlights Illinois Soybean Checkoff-funded research aimed at improving how glufosinate is used, including when and how to apply it for the best results. Attendees also hear an update on the status of herbicide resistance in waterhemp, and what research is being done to help farmers identify resistance problems sooner and preserve effective herbicide options for the future.
