Sunflowers. Surprisingly a very popular crop in central and western South Dakota.
Kochia is also a popular weed in the same areas of South Dakota.
And Mike K. near Gettysburg, South Dakota was familiar with the problem. Mike met with Todd, got the proper balance of herbicide, Poseidon, and AMS, and applied to his field of sunflower and kochia. Within hours, the burn down was taking place between the end rows with no Poseidon application to compared to the remaining rows.
Mike's neighbor, a couple miles down the road had the same problem, kochia in sunflowers. The neighbor had gone to his local agronomist to get application for weed control. With unsuccessful result, the company told him he had herbicide resistant weeds and they were unable to kill the kochia.
We at Poseidon are not saying weeds are "resistant" per say, but that they have become more tolerant of the RoundUp. To be successful you must have the surface tension broken up by using 2 quarts of Poseidon per 100 gallons of finished product. By doing so, you are making those products, RoundUp or otherwise, work the way they are supposed to.
