Brief Project Summary:

At the end of any growing season, there are several weeds that escape control. Common lambsquarter, giant ragweed, common ragweed, horseweed (marestail) and velvet leaf are the most commonly mentioned. Herbicide resistant weed concerns are heightened by the widespread use of glyphosate. Suspected herbicide weed resistant samples can be tested, free of charge to soybean producers, at the MSU Plant Diagnostic Center.

To confirm field diagnosis of suspected herbicide weed resistance in a soybean field, a mature seed head of the suspected resistant plant must be submitted to the MSU Plant Diagnostic Center for a greenhouse grow-out analysis. The screening results are based on each submitted...

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
