MANHATTAN (KSNT) – This year is the 50th anniversary of the first case of herbicide resistance in Kansas, and Kansas State University is reflecting on what has been done and what’s left to do with the issue.
The first known case of herbicide resistance in Kansas came in 1976 when populations of kochia, an early spring weed/herb native to Europe and Asia, growing near railroads were found to be resistant to atrazine, a popular herbicide used in corn and sorghum fields. Today, this resistant kochia can be found across the state.
