The “next big thing” in herbicide control of waterhemp has come and gone multiple times, so when Bradley had a chance to look at two new mechanical options of controlling weeds, he jumped at the chance.  You’ve no doubt heard of the options Bradley and his team have explored: Electrocution, or using high volt...

If it’s a weed, spray it. That’s the mindset that most in the agriculture industry held for years. That thinking no longer works as more weeds become resistant to herbicides, says Kevin Bradley, University of Missouri Extension weed scientist. Bradley uses waterhemp as an example.
