Think ahead about weed control in alfalfa
The thinner alfalfa population allows weeds to encroach the field. Weeds can also be a problem if they weren't properly managed prior to seeding alfalfa.
Herbicide rotation ineffective against resistance in waterhemp
A new study from the University of Illinois explains why herbicide rotation doesn't work.
Herbicide rotation key in the war against weeds
Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, have become more widespread and they've adapted to fend off a few different herbicides that have been used to kill them.
Control weeds with pasture management
Good pasture management and integrating several control strategies will be more successful than relying on one single method.
Scientists develop way to detect Palmer amaranth
The assay can detect genetic variations unique to Palmer even when flooded with samples from closely related species, including waterhemp.
Seed groups address Palmer amaranth weed
The American Seed Trade Association hosted a meeting to discuss a collaborative approach to addressing Palmer amaranth and other weed seed issues.
How to identify poisonous plants
Poison hemlock is not the only plant that you should be on the lookout for. Jimsonweed, pokeweed and black locust are potentially poisonous to livestock.
