The long-term objective of this project is to reduce the impact of herbicide-resistant weeds on soybean production and profitability while developing best management practices for herbicide-resistant weeds. This cannot be achieved within a set number of years, but it can adapt to the most pressing weed challenges as they evolve. The short-term objectives of this project are to outline the benefits and unintended consequences of applying post-emergence herbicide mixtures when targeting herbicide-resistant weeds; and identify the underlying mechanisms for herbicide-resistant weeds to allow for improved management recommendations. This research will guide the development of effective weed control strategies to enable more sustainable weed management and soybean production.
