Although herbicide-resistant weeds, and the chemicals used to fight them, have been making national headlines recently, no-tillers must continue their quest to protect crops and yields by making well-informed choices about products to apply.

When it comes to weed control, more no-tillers each year are having problems dealing with dandelions. Ohio State University weed scientists Anthony Dobbels, Mark Loux and Jeff Stachler say that dandelions have become much more widespread in Ohio crop production fields over the past 5 years.
