A critical component of herbicide resistance management and integrated pest management is scouting for pests. In this case, it is time to start thinking about scouting for late-season weed escapes. Late-season weed scouting will help to focus your weed management plans for next year- what worked, did not work, and which weed species may be a problem during the next growing season. If you suspect that you have found an herbicide-resistant weed, please contact your local county Extension agent or Vince Davis at vmdavis@wisc.edu
