Herbicide Resistance

[farmaholic]

Hey Tweety what do you do to deal with weed resistance?

Sell the grower multiple modes of action chemicles mixed into a neat expensive ****tail.

A real piss off with resistance issues is when you inherit someone else's. Be it by wind, water, wildlife, machinery, seed(certified---of course). You can only be diligent to a certain extent.

He admitted in another thread this week that he wasn’t even a farmer, not sure why he is even here.

Exactly. I think he/she is just trying to stir shit more than anything. There are a few (tweety, chucks, dml, bin, forage and agstar ) that dont deserve a response on most threads they start. Don't feed the trolls.

My apologies if I missed anyone.

Roundup resistance is because of the .33 rate on canola.
Tickled the weeds and pissed them off.
Up the rate and kill the buggers.
No issues here.
Switch from group 1 to 2.

Group 1 2 must be mode of action m similar to our a b c d

Often puzzled why Agriville rarely talks about agriculture, so, what ya gonna do about herbicide resistance?

Hope it just goes away? Expecting someone else to solve the problem? Can policy help? Regulatory?

Some of the off topic stuff could maybe be comingled with organic farming forum, those that want to go there will.

But crikeys im guilty i put darn sheep and wool stuff in commodity section rather than its proper place.

I am involved in policy, what do you need?

Currently 69% of wild oats has at least one mode of resistance. Take the time to share your experience with these guys https://saskwheat.ca/news-articles/wild-oat-resistance-surevey https://saskwheat.ca/news-articles/wild-oat-resistance-surevey

Remember, this is a farmer problem, everyone else in the Ag sector will only bring expensive solutions (pardon the pun) to this farming problem.

I do find it interesting many think the answer to a chemical problem is a chemical solution.

One possible solution - but oh the energy. https://www.producer.com/2019/07/machine-controls-weeds-with-steam/ https://www.producer.com/2019/07/machine-controls-weeds-with-steam/

Tweety. If you would have seen what I saw the two past springs I doubt you would think tillage is a real good option.

Forages would be better than tillage.

Or only targeted pin point tillage.

But wide scale recreational tillage is dynamite under some circumstances in some areas.

I've even seen wild oats worse in tilled areas than untilled, you could see the line difference. Buried every wild oat that was laying on the surface then he had a carpet of it.

Tillage might be part of the solution but it is no replacement for an integrated program in my opinion.....not here anyway.
