Chinese privet is a common fixture in the southeastern United States – typically found growing in dense thickets along roadsides, on rights of way and in forests. One common control strategy is to cut away the shrub’s thick foliage and

Scientists at Purdue University have just answered an important question that has plagued many corn and soybean growers. Why does mixing glyphosate with other selective herbicides sometimes fail to control glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed plants?

Today genetically engineered, glyphosate-resistant crops are often singled out as a major contributor in the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds. But a new data analysis featured in the journal Weed Science shows it may be time to revisit that common assumption.

What if you could predict which nonnative plant species would become invasive weeds and when? Would it change your weed management plan?

Waterhemp is already one of the most problematic weeds in the Midwest and South. But researchers writing in the latest edition of the journal Weed Science say its control challenges are getting even tougher.

Scientists have discovered an important new reason to focus on removal of invasive plant species. A recent study featured in the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management shows that removing invaders alongside a stream or river can greatly improve the biodiversity of aquatic organisms.

With herbicide resistance on the rise, more farmers are making tillage the foundation of their integrated weed management program. But new research shows that when tillage occurs can make a big difference

Palmer amaranth is widely considered to be one of the most damaging and difficult to control agricultural weeds in North America. A lot of time and attention has been devoted to herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth

It is easy to assume that getting rid of invasive plants will allow a local ecosystem to return to its natural state, with native vegetation flourishing once again. But a new study featured

Cropping systems based on the auxin-containing herbicides dicamba and 2,4-D offer new control options in the battle against glyphosate-resistant broadleaf weeds. According to research published

Land managers are gaining an upper hand against exotic tamarisk in the western U.S. thanks to beetles introduced to control the invasive plant. Unfortunately, though, a secondary challenge remains.

LAWRENCE, Kansas – March 21, 2017 – Cover crops are attracting widespread attention for the benefits they provide in crop rotations, especially for soil health.
