Herbicide resistance a growing problem in Manitoba fields
Manitoba Weed Supervisors Association leads Weed Watch surveying over 9,000 hectares by 34 supervisors to map herbicide resistant wild oats. The effort records patches, collects seeds, advises farmers on use patterns, and distributes record books. Manitoba insurance data show over half of townships at high risk, with Group I products used heavily from 1989 to 1993. A detailed University of Manitoba study found 75 percent resistance in one township.
