Manipulating weed seed production through phenology-based weed control

The Challenge

Canada has the third-largest number of unique herbicide resistant weed biotypes in the world, causing an increase in weed control measure that cost prairie farmers an estimated $538 million annually.

The Project

Improve understanding of weed phenology by developing knowledge of the relationship between weed emergence timing, harvest timing, and viable weed seed.

The Results

This section will be updated upon completion of the project.

Grower Benefits

Understanding weed phenology will provide growers with better herbicide resistant weed management by optimizing the timing on weed control efforts, saving growers money in weed control efforts.
