Pigweed At Burndown? (Prostko)

I received this picture from a grower yesterday who was about to burndown with some Roundup (before looking in the field).  This field was treated with a Roundup + 2,4-D combo several weeks ago (but no residual).  Two main takeaways here:  1) always a great idea to include a residual herbicide in a preplant burndown weed control program especially when applied many weeks before planting; and 2) the very best thing a grower can put in a field is a foot.  In this scenario, Roundup would not have been a great option because of resistance.  The grower wisely switched to Gramoxone (and was also including Dual Magnum) since he will be planting field corn and soybean.
