SGS has partnered to deliver genetic weed resistance testing, delivering results within 1-2 weeks, giving clients the tools to promptly address weed herbicide resistance during the growing season. This innovation, testing weed plant tissue, brings speed to decision making and therefore, timely mitigation of weeds. This molecular DNA test is designed for target-site based assessment of resistance.

When is the ideal time to consider genetic testing for weed herbicide resistance?

• Pre-seeding – Historical observations
• Growing season – Escapes observed post spraying
• Post harvest – New observations

Both Field Scan and Single Tissue testing options are ready for Western Canadian growers. Our premier offer is Wild Oat and Kochia, with other weeds on-demand.
