Herbicide resistance doesn\u2019t happen by chance. We know a lot about how it develops and even which herbicide groups are more likely to have weeds become resistant and escape control.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hugh Beckie, research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada developed this resistance pyramid as a way to rank herbicides by the probability of weeds developing resistance.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Adapted from Beckie, H. J. 2006. Herbicide Resistant Weeds: Management Tactics and Practices. Weed Technology. Vol. 20. Issue 3. pp. 793-814.<\/p>\n

Do you know what groups you\u2019re going to be using this season? Groups at the top of the pyramid are far more likely to have weeds develop resistance to them than groups at the bottom of the pyramid.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time you spray a herbicide, you\u2019re likely creating small amounts of resistance to that herbicide,\u201d says Graham Collier, Nufarm\u2019s Technical Manager. \u201cWe know that weeds are very adaptable so you need to be one step ahead to anticipate and manage your herbicide program for the lowest possibility for herbicide resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consider these probabilities.<\/p>\n
