[Scene opens with a shot of soybean plants with the Soy Masters badge and text “Field Notes“ overlaid on it. Guitar music plays in the background. The shot switches to rows of soybean plants with text “Herbicide resistance risk in Eastern Canada” overlaid on it. Scene switches to Karrie Boucher (Field Biologist) and Marijke Vanderlaan (Agronomic Sales Representative) standing in front of a field at the Honeywood Research Facililty, speaking to camera.]
KARRIE: I’m Karrie Boucher, I'm a Field Biologist with Syngenta Canada and I work out of the Honeywood Research Facility. 
MARIJKE: And my name is Marijke Vanderlaan and I'm an Agronomic Sales Rep covering here from Plattsville down to Niagara. We have a demonstration set up here and we want to talk about one of the important pieces about managing weed resistance, and that's about understanding the risk level we have with the different herbicides. 
[Scene switches to close up of jugs of herbicide arranged on a table. Shot zooms back out to both women standing in front of table of herbicide jugs. Shot zooms back to Marijke speaking.]
MARIJKE: On the table here you'll see different groups from Group 9 up to Group 1, some which have low risk of resistance developing to that herbicide and some that have very high risk. We want to just go through this with you and look at which herbicides do we actually have resistance to. So, Karrie, I'm going to need your help. For the first one, I'm pretty sure that there's lots of glyphosate resistance out there. 
[Scene switches to Karrie and Marijke standing in front of demonstration table. Shot zooms in and out to both Karrie and Marijke as each woman is speaking. Guitar music continues quietly in background.]
KARRIE: Yeah, there's definitely a lot of resistance to Group 9 in Eastern Canada. 
MARIJKE: That one's out. Group 6?  
KARRIE: Yes. 
MARIJKE: Group 4?  
KARRIE: Yes. 
MARIJKE: Group 7? 
KARRIE: Yes, we do have resistance to Group 7 in Eastern Canada. 
MARIJKE: 22?  
KARRIE: Yes. 
MARIJKE: Okay. I'm pretty sure... Callisto® there's no resistance in Eastern Canada. 
KARRIE: That's right. There's no resistance to 27 in Eastern Canada. 
MARIJKE: Okay, awesome. 15? 
KARRIE: No, no resistance to 15. Not yet. 
MARIJKE: Okay. 14? 
KARRIE: Yes we do have resistance to 14. 
MARIJKE: Group 3? 
KARRIE: No, no resistance to Group 3. 
MARIJKE: Excellent. What about Group 5? I’m pretty sure... Well I should know that yeah, there's lots of resistance to Group 5. 
KARRIE: Yes, there is. Yes.
MARIJKE: And then I'm going to take a guess. Group 1 and Group 2 being high risk, there is resistance out there. 
KARRIE: That's right. 
MARIJKE: Alright, so what are we left with, Karrie? 
KARRIE: Well, we're just left with three herbicide modes of action: Group 27, 15 and 3. That's why it's so important for us to protect our crop protection. If you use a product like a Group 5 atrazine and you use that on your field year after year, it's not going to be long before you have resistant weeds in your field. But if you add two modes of action like Group 27 and Group 15 in a product like Acuron® and you apply that to your field, that's the most effective way to delay herbicide resistance in your field. 
MARIJKE: Right. That's a really good point, is that ultimately when it comes to weed resistance, that's something that we're trying to delay. It's not something we can prevent. So here we have a product like Acuron with three modes of action and there's actually two Group 27s in Acuron. When you think about a weed that's going to be a major weed for us going forward, which is waterhemp, and we have multiple different resistances within waterhemp already, we have three effective modes of action. Group 5, 27 and 15 all work on that waterhemp so it's a really, really great tool that we're going to have going forward. And like Karrie said, we really do need to protect our crop protection. These other groups: Group 1, 2, 14, 22, 7, 4, 6, 9 - those are still really good tools in the toolbox when they're used in combination with products like Acuron when we get those weeds when they are young. I think a great line is "the easiest weed to control is one that you cannot see yet." So ultimately when we use these different groups, use multiple effective modes of action, we can help our farmers grow the best crop they can now and well into the future.
