Paraquat could play a major role as a herbicide option in addressing resistant weeds. K-State agronomy researcher Marshall Hay spoke on this topic at the recent Cover Your Acres Conference that covers quite a gamut of topics relating to crop production in the High Plains. Hay goes into detail of why paraquat is drawing more attention because of its potential for being a response to weed resistance to glyphosate herbicide.

Hay says a couple of the keys to paraquat management are application nozzle selection and tank mixing options.
