For NDSU/University of Minnesota Extension Sugarbeet Agronomist Tom Peters, kochia remains one of the biggest weed worries. “We don’t really have very good tools, especially for controlling glyphosate-resistant kochia,” Peters told RRFN. “The one product that we’ve been working on is called Spin-Aid. Spin-Aid is half of what we used to call Betamix which works on kochia and common ragweed. With Spin-Aid, there are three things you have to track. What is the size of the sugarbeet? What is the size of kochia? What are the weather conditions today?”
