Glyphosate-resistant weeds are becoming a problem for more growers each year. From county extension and university studies to independent surveys, industry results show that glyphosate-resistant weeds are spreading geographically and at an alarming rate. FMC Agricultural Products understands that growers need to implement weed management best practices now to ensure the best results for their crop in the future.

"Glyphosate resistance continues to make weed control more difficult," said Brent Neuberger, FMC Agricultural Products North America senior technical sales manager. "As the number of weed species exhibiting glyphosate resistance increases, FMC can help growers by providing excellent crop protection options to fit into their weed management programs."

Neuberger suggests that growers needing faster and better activity in their burndown programs to control glyphosate-resistant broadleaf weeds add Aim®, Cadet® or MarvelTM herbicides by FMC to their tank mix. “The Authority® herbicides are also a perfect match to be used in Roundup Ready® or LibertyLink® soybean management systems,” Neuberger said. “They provide excellent control of waterhemp, morningglories, lambsquarters, pigweeds and other small-seeded broadleaves that glyphosate might be missing.”

In addition, FMC recommends growers use best management practices when dealing with glyphosate-resistant weeds including:

• Scouting fields for weeds early and often
• Planting into clean, weed-free fields and keeping fields weed free throughout the growing season
• Using multiple herbicides with different modes of action throughout the growing season
• Controlling weeds early when they are relatively small
• Applying herbicides at the recommended rate and time
• Managing weed escapes to prevent weeds from reproducing
• Cleaning equipment between fields to reduce spreading weeds
• Managing field borders to prevent weed migration into fields
