Managing herbicide resistance is no simple task, but it’s one every grower must tackle head-on to protect yield potential and preserve long-term weed control options.
No-Till Farmer invites you to review this webinar replay with HELM Crop Solutions where we explored how herbicide resistance continues to evolve amid market pressures, product confusion and knowledge gaps.
HELM Crop Solutions crop consultant liaison Tim Ford will unpack the underlying causes that make resistance such a persistent issue. You will gain a clear understanding of the science behind resistance trends and learn how to strengthen your management approach before burndown and beyond.
Building on insights from HELM’s research and experience, this session will outline straightforward strategies that simplify resistance management without sacrificing efficacy. From tracing herbicide history and active ingredients to situationally re-engaging in foundational fieldwork, growers will discover how intentional, informed actions can turn a complex challenge into a manageable process.
