Objective
To conduct a baseline survey of PPO inhibitor-resistant kochia in western Canada; to assess kochia populations for cross-resistance to other synthetic auxin herbicides, herbicide mixtures, and usage windows; to assess the efficacy of a potential "new" (old) herbicide, dichlorprop, for management of auxinic herbicide-resistant kochia; to work toward determining the mechanisms of auxinic herbicide resistance in kochia in western Canada; to determine whether dicamba or fluroxypyr resistance traits in kochia confer fitness penalties.
