We will continue to screen grower-submitted waterhemp samples for resistances to glyphosate, PPO inhibitors, and ALS inhibitors using molecular tests. In addition, we will also begin accepting Palmer amaranth samples for glyphosate-resistance testing. These activities provide a direct and tangible return to IL soybean farmers (knowledge of resistant biotypes within their own fields), as well as enable us to track the spread of multiple-resistant biotypes throughout the state.
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.
