Preventing resistance to knockdown herbicides • Use tank mixes of two different modes of action at robust rates that are effective on the target species – remember synergy is rare – keep both rates high! • Prevent any survivors of spraying from setting seed. • Use a double knock – 2 effective herbicide applications or non-herbicide tactics in close succession – 1 to 14 days apart • monitor spray effectiveness • Rotate modes of action See WEEDsmart “Big 6” for cropping
