Kochia

Kochia (Kochia scoparia), also known as Bassia scoparia, is a tough, drought-tolerant weed widespread in the western U.S. It competes with crops like wheat and corn, and spreads by wind as a tumbleweed. Kochia is notorious for its rapid development of resistance to multiple herbicides. Management relies on integrated weed control, crop rotation, and timely herbicide applications.
