Waterhemp is covering more acres every year. NDSU Extension Weed Specialist Joe Ikley says the weed is widespread across the southern part of the state. “It is continuing to spread north every year we get a flood event or waterfowl carry the seeds. It’s here to stay and will a problematic weed for us for years to come.” There are current reports of resistance to glyphosate, Group 2 herbicides and Group 14 post-emergence herbicides with more resistance popping up each year. “The big news is we’ve confirmed dicamba-resistant waterhemp in Traill County.”
