🌿Waterhemp🌿

Why it’s a problem:
Waterhemp emerges later than many other weeds, making it tricky to control. It’s also developing resistance to several herbicides and produces a huge number of seeds—meaning it spreads fast and adapts even faster.

How to identify it:
👶 Seedlings: Hairless stems and leaves
🍃 Leaves: Shiny, smooth, and lance-shaped
🌱 Stems: Reddish or green
🌾 Roots: Fibrous, no deep taproot
🌸 Seedheads: Long, slender, branching flower spikes

How to control it:
Stay ahead with regular scouting and well-timed pre- and post-emergence herbicide applications. Need help picking the right products? Give us a call—we’re here to help you tackle tough weeds! 💪🌱
