BROOKINGS, S.D. -  Weed glyphosate resistance is on the rise in South Dakota's fields, says SDSU Extension Weed Specialist, Mike Moechnig, during a recent iGrow Radio Network interview. Moechnig says waterhemp tops the list, followed by kochia. "We're seeing more confirmations of waterhemp resistance; but also kochia. Kochia is actually almost a bigger problem in Central South Dakota and even a more challenging weed to control than waterhemp if we don't have glyphosate as an option," Moechnig said.
