Herbicide Resistance in Waterhemp
JAN 21, 2020
Problem: Waterhemp is becoming resistant to everything Waterhemp is a dioecious species, with separate male and female plants. Cross pollination results in tremendous variability within populations, which is evident from differences in plant color and other characteristics.

Waterhemp can produce over 1,000,000 seeds per plant.
