Glyphosate-Resistant Ryegrass Will Motivate You In A Big Way
By Daniel Stephenson, Ph.D.

How many of you had an issue with glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass this spring? Did you expect clethodim to solve the problem and then found it did not? Did you apply paraquat and were not satisfied?
Many farmers, consultants, and dealers commented to me since late January that the Italian ryegrass problem has exploded in Louisiana. Honestly, this is not surprising because we have not been addressing this pest properly. Mississippi has had this issue for longer than Louisiana has.
