Screening for Herbicide -
Resistant Weeds
Herbicide resistance in weeds is a growing concern for producers, due largely to the recent occurrence and spread of glyphosate-resistant horseweed and occasional failure to control common lambsquarters, common ragweed, and giant ragweed in Roundup Ready Crops.
Diagnostic Services at Michigan State University will conduct free glyphosate and ALS resistance screening for soybean producers. The program is funded by the Michigan soybean checkoff program and covers four weed species: horseweed/marestail, common lambsquarters, common ragweed and giant ragweed.

Michigan Soybean Cyst Nematode Analysis
The Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) is a major limiting factor in Michigan's soybean production. It's imperative that problem fields are identified for proper management of this important soybean pest. Identification of SCN requires inspection of root tissue and submission of soil samples.
Because sampling is necessary of SCN identification, the Michigan soybean checkoff will pay the analysis costs of samples (limited to 20 per producer in Michigan) submitted to the MSU program.
