MADISON - The University of Wisconsin-Madison Field Crops Weed Science Extension program is looking for participants for a research study relating to glyphosate-resistant weeds in Wisconsin corn and soybean fields.
The study will investigate weed species diversity in Wisconsin corn and soybean fields due to reduced atrazine use and subsequent increased use of glyphosate. The purpose of the study is to identify areas in the state where there may be a shift to weeds that are more difficult to control with glyphosate, or where weeds that are resistant to glyphosate may first appear.
There are two levels of participation in this survey. The first level simply includes filling out an online survey with information from only one crop production field. The survey can be found at www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22FSESTMEKJ.
Participants who are willing to provide information about more than one field can repeat the survey.
The second level of participation, which is optional, is to allow weed science research staff from the UW-Madison to survey your crop fields for weed escapes in late-summer months.
More information is available by contacting Vince Davis at vmdavis@wisc.edu (608) 262-1392 or Ross Recker at rrecker@wisc.edu.
