Kochia is an annual broadleaf weed that emerges in early summer and quickly reproduces, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. Get the facts on kochia management below.
Because most kochia seeds do not live for more than a year, preventing seed production for a single year will significantly help reduce infestations in following years. As germination occurs early in the season, control methods are the most effective in early spring before the seeds have set.
Consult your local Corteva Agriscience representative for more insights on kochia management in your area.
