Abstract

Herbicide-resistant weeds have impacted crop production throughout the United extension programming has not been evaluated. In June 2007, 38 extension wee responded to a survey on herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds and the impact they ar programming. Survey results revealed that HR weeds have had a significant imp for agronomic crops. In the last 10 yr, agronomic weed specialists' extension pro impacted by the presence of HR weeds as compared to horticultural programmin programming is twice as likely to be altered. Of 37 weed species reported, seven 80% of the major HR biotypes reported. These include Amaranthus species, hor lambsquarters, kochia, giant ragweed, and Lolium species. Five weed species (c horseweed, kochia, and three foxtail species) exhibited weed by mode of action major or minor problems. Herbicide resistance problem severity differed for weed results of this survey of university extension personnel confirm that HR weeds ha will continue to impact programming in the future.
