This is the third year in a row that I have seen tall waterhemp, over 6" tall, sprayed with a post-emergent herbicide combination containing dicamba. Last year, I noticed a few fields where it seemed that tall waterhemp had survived a late application of dicamba and appeared to have small seed heads.
Is this the beginning of dicamba herbicide-resistant weeds?
In 2019, University of Tennessee weed scientist Dr. Larry Steckel saw more escape pigweeds in fields where dicamba had been sprayed....
