Webinar: The Economics of Glyphosate Resistance Management in Corn and Soybean Production

Date:  Tuesday, July 14, 2015
Time:  1:00 p.m. EDT
Duration:  1 hour
Host:  James MacDonald

Widespread use of the herbicide glyphosate has led to weed resistance, and recent surveys suggest that the problem is growing. In this webinar economist James MacDonald will summarize the findings of the recent USDA Economic Research Service report, The Economics of Glyphosate Resistance Management in Corn and Soybean Production (see link below). The report examines the spread of resistance to glyphosate in corn and soybeans, the factors that appear to slow the spread of resistance, and the economics of alternative strategies for managing the spread of resistance.
