This project is still in progress, but it aims to characterize the distribution and abundance of glyphosate-resistant or auxinic-resistant kochia and other targeted weeds in the Prairie Provinces through a survey of 300 sites in each province.
Project Summary
Overview
Determining the rate and extent of evolution or spread of glyphosate-resistant (GR) or auxinic-resistant kochia since the initial baseline surveys, allows for better advice to producers of the risk, potential agronomic and economic impact, and best management practices to mitigate or manage these weed. Monitoring or surveillance enhances awareness and understanding of the current extent of the problem, which is required to facilitate adoption of mitigation or management measures for economically and agronomically sustainable annual crop production.
Objective
To determine the distribution and abundance of GR or auxinic-resistant kochia and other targeted weeds (such as Russian thistle, waterhemp, and ragweed species) in Manitoba in 2018, Saskatchewan in 2019, and Alberta in 2021 through a survey of 300 sites in each province.
