Waterhemp, marestail, and giant ragweed are a few that are resistant on my farm. Roundup was too easy/cheap, lots of guys threw stewardship out the window, especially when the generic glyphosates came along. Some in my area sprayed glyphosate three times a season in the same field on resistant weeds. Now these weeds are approching total immunity, or at least that is what it looks like to me.
Now, we are offered very few corn or bean varities void of the Roundup trait. To select a variety that is not RR usually means sacraficing yield. So if you are not using Roundup, but still want the latest/greatest yielder you still need to donate the tech fee to Monsanto.
Kinda seems like paying for nothing to me?? Guess it is like paying a royalty on something that used to work.
Sorry for the rant.
As to your question, I am going to try seeding rye in the corn stalks this fall, then- you guessed it- burn with glyphosate and no-till beans next spring. Hoping the dead rye will supress some weed pressure. So far the rye doesn't seem resistant.
