Growing metabolism-based resistance is the greatest problem no-tillers will face with weed control, but effective use of herbicides, using multiple modes of action, and controlling the weed seed bank at harvest can all help.

New research from Iowa State University suggests cover crops, narrow rows and a smart herbicide program can help suppress herbicide-resistant weeds in soybeans by as much as 87%.
CONTROLLING WATERHEMP is an increasing challenge for soybean growers due to the evolution of multiple herbicide-resistant populations. With dwindling herbicide resources, there’s a need to integrate non-chemical strategies — such as cover crops and alternative row spacings — into current weed management programs.
Waterhemp control is an increasing challenge for soybean producers due to the evolution of multiple herbicide-resistant populations. New trials from Iowa State University saw an 87% decrease in waterhemp emergence when combining a cereal rye cover crop with narrow row soybeans.
The discovery of waterhemp that is tolerant to a seventh class of herbicide action means growers have to double down on weed management by including cultural and mechanical controls to fight resistance.
As farmers across the Corn Belt were wrapping up the 2019 harvest, the buzz among corn and soybean producers centered on reports from Illinois that the tough-to-control weed, waterhemp, had shown resistance to yet another class of chemical weed control — those in Group 15.
The University of Illinois will be retrofitting the Harrington Seed Destructor to see how effective the Australian tool is at destroying waterhemp seed during harvest.
