Agriculture WESTMINSTER, Colo., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Recently published research in the journal Weed Science provides new mechanistic insights into S-metolachlor resistance in waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus). Specifically, the study points to a single major gene that controls metabolic resistance to S-metolachlor (the active ingredient in Dual Magnum and Dual II Magnum), in the Stanford, Illinois resistant (SIR) population, which represents a relatively new and recent type of non-target-site resistance in waterhemp - to soil-applied, Group 15 herbicides.
Key Points:
- A newly published Weed Science Society of America research article identifies a single major gene controlling S-metolachlor resistance in a central Illinois waterhemp population, which represents a relatively new and recent type of non-target-site resistance in waterhemp - to soil-applied, Group 15 herbicides.
- WESTMINSTER, Colo., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Recently published research in the journal Weed Science provides new mechanistic insights into S-metolachlor resistance in waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus).
- "Waterhemp has developed resistance to seven herbicide sites-of-action classes, creating extremely difficult management challenges to farmers."
- The good news is that the germplasm derived from this research can assist in identifying the gene(s) and gene mutations conferring resistance to S-metolachlor in waterhemp.

Southern Illinois University WESTMINSTER, Colo., Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- From carved Halloween jack-o-lanterns to tasty holiday pies, pumpkins are central to many a seasonal celebration. Scientists with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say it takes effective weed control, though, to bring those prized pumpkin crops to market.
Key Points:
- Scientists with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say it takes effective weed control, though, to bring those prized pumpkin crops to market.
- That makes diversified weed management tactics a must especially since herbicide resistance is on the rise.
- Scientists with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say it takes effective weed control, though, to bring those prized pumpkin crops to market.
- Despite these advantages, pumpkin production would be severely limited without effective weed control, Walters says.

CBD WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is used to produce a variety of products – from building materials, textiles and paper to nutritious seeds, CBD oils and extracts. Though the crop was introduced in the U.S. centuries ago, scientists with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say much work remains to develop safe and effective approaches to weed control that growers can rely on.
Key Points:
- Though the crop was introduced in the U.S. centuries ago , scientists with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say much work remains to develop safe and effective approaches to weed control that growers can rely on.
- For many decades hemp crops were prohibited by laws and regulations that categorized all varieties of cannabis as controlled substances.
- As a result of these varying regulations and the newness of the revitalized market, experts say weed control tools and protocols for hemp crops have yet to catch up.
- "If approved, it will represent a new tool for weed control in hemp grown for fiber, seed and processed seed commodities like flour and protein-rich hemp hearts."
