Recognizing Herbicide Resistance In Field Crops

By Teresa Crook

Join the Michigan State University Extension 2026 Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series on Thursday, May 21, featuring Michigan State University weed diagnostician Erin Hill, PhD. Hill will discuss how to identify resistance issues in the field and what issues were confirmed in Michigan from the 2025 samples.

Immediately following the discussion on herbicide resistance, agricultural meteorologist Jeff Andresen will present a 15-minute weather summary and forecast. A question-and-answer period will follow. Other Michigan State University Extension specialists and educators will be available for discussion.

The Michigan State University (MSU) Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series sessions are held every week during the growing season via Zoom video or phone conference. These virtual meetings take place every Thursday morning from 7–8 a.m. March through September. The Virtual Breakfast Series is flexible, fluid and able to adapt when issues arise due to unforeseen growing conditions. There will be an open 20-minute Q&A session following the presentations with MSU specialists and educators. Participants are encouraged to log into the Zoom meeting 5 minutes prior to the start time for a tech check and to receive announcements.

Restricted use pesticide (RUP) credits and certified crop adviser (CCA) continuing education units are available for participants who attend the live session.
