Weed persistence and herbicide resistance are significant challenges for crop production in the Prairies. Over the years, many crop production and weed management strategies focused on reducing the abundance of weeds by controlling their above-ground presence. Read More

This project will develop decision support tools that will help producers implement herbicide resistant management strategies and make informed decision about how their herbicide choices are affecting future management of their weed populations. Read More

Find new methods to control herbicide resistant wild oats and reducing losses associated with the challenge of herbicide resistance. Read More

This project covers the first three years of a larger project to determine the status of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds in the Canadian prairies from 2019 to 2023. The project will use a series of provincial HR weed surveys to provide… Read More

The proposed research will help farmers and agricultural industry understand which herbicide active ingredients and usage scenarios remain effective for management of multiple-HR kochia. It will also help them understand how auxinic herbicide resistance in kochia is inherited, how quickly… Read More

This project will seek to determine the distribution and abundance of glyphosate resistant, or auxinic resistant kochia and other targeted weeds including Russian Thistle, waterhemp and ragweed species. Read More

We aim to provide producers with a control strategy to use in the fall, post-harvest, to rely on frost to kill seedlings, or preseed as part of a stale seedbed strategy with a herbicide. If wild oat and volunteer cereals… Read More
