Published: April 4, 2016

Saskatoon hosted the International Weed Resistance Summit this March. Speakers at the conference delivered a dose of reality on the growing herbicide resistance program. One of those speakers was Dr. Ian Heap, who leads the International Survey of Herbicide-Resistant Weeds.

Grainews reporter Lisa Guenther teamed up with Robin Booker of The Western Producer to cover the summit. In this video interview, Booker talks to Heap about where Canada sits globally and why we have such a herbicide-resistance problem.
