Herbicide-resistant weeds now on 72 per cent of surveyed Manitoba fields, costing farmers $77M a year
Four new resistant weed species have emerged since the last survey in 2016, and researchers say integrated weed management is now critical to slowing the spread across Prairie cropland
Weed resistance closes in on glufosinate
Expanded soybean acres and tighter application windows erode buffers that have protected Liberty herbicide for Prairie farmers

Kochia creeps farther north in Manitoba
Farmers are fighting kochia farther north than ever before in Manitoba, while the weed also keeps racking up resistance to herbicides
Farmers are fighting kochia farther north than ever before in Manitoba, while the resistance-prone weed also keeps eating up herbicide options.
Predictive weed mapping, coming to a farm field near you

The looming threat of HPPD herbicide resistance
Group 27 herbicides are still effective in Manitoba, so far, but weeds are beating them in other parts of North America, and there are plenty of other resistance worries already on the ground
Group 27 herbicides are still working in Manitoba, so far, but weeds are beating them in other parts of North America, plus we have other resistance worries.

Kochia is also showing escapes when sprayed with the Group 10 herbicide, weed scientist warns
Kochia may also be on the road to Group 10 herbicide resistance, which would be a serious blow to Prairie farmers and canola growers, warns weed scientist.
Herbicide resistance thriving in Manitoba wild oats
Farmers’ weed battle with wild oats isn’t getting any easier, with growing herbicide resistance increasing risk that spraying won’t beat it back

Farmers, don’t get trapped by herbicide resistance
Canadian farmers can stretch out how long herbicides work, but nature is designed to help weeds develop resistance
Canada’s farmers can stretch out how long herbicides work, but nature is designed to help weeds develop herbicide resistance eventually.
