Resistance Fighter

MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Get a plan of attack. When building your resistance program, learn how Syngenta and its products best work for your fields. Here you’ll be able to find specific information, and learn why it’s critical to rotate crops and herbicide modes of action when fighting tough weeds.

Apply residual herbicides with multiple modes of action for control of vulnerable germinating weed

Increase herbicide diversity with premixes and tank mixes to avoid selecting for resistance, since weeds missed by a single herbicide will be controlled by the partner

Scout fields, borders, fencerows and ditches for weed pressure and to gauge effectiveness of herbicide control, as knowledge is power in the fight against resistance

Rotate crops, which allows rotation of herbicide modes of action

Use full herbicide rates, carrier and recommended adjuvant(s) for complete weed control

Start with clean fields, including borders, to prevent weed competition and protect yield potential

Consider mechanical weed control (cultivation) if appropriate, as another mode of action

Use cover crops to help knock down the existing weed populations

Plan a multi-year resistance program with the Solution Builder to fight resistance long-term

Corn

Protect yield potential from weed competition with overlapping residual pre- and post-emerge herbicides

Control weeds before they reach 4 inches to limit competition for nutrients, water and light

Cotton

Use a variety of herbicide modes of action for burndown, pre-emerge, post-emerge and lay-by applications to avoid selecting for resistance

Soybean

Protect yield potential and widen the window for post-emerge applications with pre-emerge herbicides

Use residual herbicides to minimize late-season weed flushes

Use multiple modes of action for burndown, pre-emerge and post-emerge applications

Wheat & Barley

Rotate modes of action each year in every field regardless of crop grown

Apply post-emerge herbicides to small weeds for most effective control

Use a diverse crop/fallow rotation to extend the range of available herbicides and agronomic practices
