How many ways can you kill a weed? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 if it is perennial D.Many ways 700 farmers from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa completed a survey. What % of these farmers agreed with the statement that farmers have much of the responsibility for glyphosate resistant weed populations? A.95% B.89% C.57% D.25% 2
What percentage of 700 farmers agreed with the statement that industry has much of the responsibility for glyphosate resistant weed populations? A.95% B.89% C.57% D.25% What choice below do these 700 farmers agree with THE MOST? A. Industry will come out with new herbicides and crops resistant to those herbicides before I need to change my weed management. B. I need to practice more complex weed management now because new options will not be developed fast enough by industry. 3

Strobilurin plus triazole: Twin biochemical modes of action Strobilurin Inhibits electron transfer in cytochrome bc1 complex of mitochondria. Therefore, disrupts energy production by the fungus. Powerful preventative action Fungal cell Triazole Inhibits sterol biosynthesis. Sterols are important components of the cell membrane. Good curative activity... also of benefit for resistance management Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) FRAC is an international industry-based and financed organization formed in 1981 with key objectives of: Providing advice on how best to use fungicides in order to avoid, delay, manage fungicide resistance in crops Providing educational material to train more people in the science of fungicide resistance and the art of its control www.frac.info 11
FRAC Code One of the more recent contributions by FRAC was the development and implementation of the FRAC code now used on fungicide labels A fungus that becomes resistant to one fungicide in a FRAC Code may be resistant to many or all fungicides within that FRAC Code 12

Utilize non-chemical disease management when possible Apply mixes of different fungicide groups or rotate fungicide groups if multiple applications made in a season Follow label recommendations Only apply fungicides when warranted based on scouting or disease risk https://www.plantmanagementnetwork.org/hub/soyfungicideresistance/ 16
