Herbicide resistance among weeds has become a significant challenge, so farmers must explore diverse strategies for weed management.
GROW (Getting Rid of Weeds) is a scientist-led network coordinating research to help farmers across the U.S. fight herbicide resistance. Their focus extends beyond chemical solutions to encompass non-chemical techniques, emphasizing three key areas: harvest weed seed control, cover crops, and precision weed management.
In this episode, Michael Flessner, Virginia Tech Associate Professor and Extension Weed Science Specialist, along with Karen Corrigan, CCA and Independent Agronomist at McGillicuddy Corrigan Agronomics, join Kelsey Litchfield to discuss GROW’s comprehensive approach to weed management, emphasizing collaboration, research, and outreach for greater diversity of weed control strategies to complement chemical use.
They discuss the rising challenge of herbicide resistance and how GROW’s website offers a multitude of resources for farmers including a weed management planner, identification of weeds, webinars, news, and more. Visit https://growiwm.org/ to learn more about their efforts.
