Herbicide resistance isn’t something you want to discover at harvest. Catching it early—before it spreads—is key to staying ahead of problem weeds and preserving herbicide options for seasons to come. Here are some practical tips to help you scout effectively and confirm resistance before it becomes more significant. 

Scout Early and Often 

A good weed control plan isn't just about killing what's there; it's about keeping new weeds from emerging, which is especially important in pulse crops, where early competition can make or break the season.

Weeds compete with crops for moisture, nutrients, and sunlight, making early and effective control essential for strong yields. Authority Strike™ herbicide offers a powerful pre-seed solution with fast-acting burnoff and extended soil-applied control, helping farmers manage tough weeds like kochia, cleavers, and wild buckwheat while reducing herbicide resistance risks.
