Two words may best describe waterhemp: prolific and smart.
University of Missouri Extension weed scientist Kevin Bradley and his team will share the latest research on treating waterhemp with chemical and nonchemical means at the 2025 Crop and Pest Management Field Day on July 10 at Bradford Research Farm in Columbia.
