Roundup Resistance

This is what a field with roundup resistant weeds looks like. If you are starting to see this, you need to start using other modes of action in you weed control. I have never liked roundup ready corn because of the issue of controlling volunteer corn. Liberty Link corn is a good alternative.

The above photo probably shows a field that does not yet have the problem. The producer probably controls his weeds early. Maybe he is using a soil applied herbicide and just backup up with roundup. Early control helps too.
