Herbicide Resistant Waterhemp

It would appear that even university research centers are not immune from having to deal with herbicide resistant waterhemp. The waterhemp plant pictured above was sprayed postemergence when less than 2 inches tall with the full rate of a diphenyl-ether herbicide, using the appropriate adjuvants. As can be observed, the plant was injured but is now beginning to recover. This is just another reminder of the importance of soil-applied residual herbicide applications when dealing with this herbicide resistant biotype.
