Diagnostic service to test for herbicide-resistant weeds

Herbicide-resistant weeds is one of the many issues that producers are now facing throughout Oklahoma and the United States.  Early detection of populations of herbicide-resistant weeds will give a head-start to management and prevention of their spread.  At OSU, we have started a new diagnostic service program that allows for producers, crop consultants, and extension educators to submit weed samples for testing to determine if the weeds are resistant to certain herbicides.  This program is funded in part by the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, the Oklahoma Soybean Board, and the Oklahoma Wheat Commission and will be provided as a free service to anyone involved in Oklahoma agricultural production.

The fact sheet,  PSS-2779 “Diagnostic Service to Test for Herbicide-resistant Weeds in Oklahoma,” gives instructions for collecting and submitting seed samples.  The seed samples do not need to be threshed and cleaned, but it is important to collect enough seed for adequate testing (typically, enough to fill half of a paper lunch sack).

If you have any questions, please contact your county OCES agricultural educator or Misha Manuchehri, OSU Extension Weeds Specialist, at (405) 744-9588 for more information.
