With the goal of on-farm pigweed eradication, it is important to incorporate cultural practices that give the crop a competitive advantage over pigweed as well as mechanical practices that disrupt weed seed germination and can eliminate plant tissue. By putting these types of tools to good use, the number of weeds left to control chemically are reduced, alleviating some of the selection pressure from use of herbicides alone.

Effective herbicides are an essential part of any robust weed control program, but the herbicide tools available are contingent on the trait package selected. Trait platform selection not only determines options for crop performance but also unlocks the available herbicide options for selected fields.

The last weed standing is the most important, most capable and the most genetically resistant weed on the farm. An eradication mindset means going the extra mile to take out the last weed standing before it produces seed.
