Brief Project Summary:

As waterhemp issues continue to spread and new soybean traits become more prevalent in soybean fields, it is important to conduct research that will develop and strengthen recommendations for waterhemp control. This project includes the following objectives: Develop and evaluate waterhemp control programs utilizing LibertyLink GT27 soybean technology; Evaluate various weed control programs in Enlist soybean for waterhemp control; Compare various weed control programs that use dicamba-based (XtendiMax), glufosinate-based (Liberty), and combinations of these herbicides to standard waterhemp control programs in XtendFlex soybean; and provide new information on the cost-effective management of herbicide-resistant waterhemp to Michigan soybean growers.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, weed specialists, agronomists, extension specialists, applicators
