Objectives:
1. Evaluate and rank 10 integrated weed management (IWM) strategies that may help to control herbicide-resistant kochia patches in saline and low-lying regions and prevent the spread and propagation of the weed
2. Test effective strategies in field settings. Work with the farmers to begin to deploy selected strategies in problem areas of their field.
3. Determine the cost and benefit of each IWM approach for a commercial farmer
