Palmer Amaranth in Georgia
Do what must be done?
Why Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri)?
- 38 species of Amaranthus in
U.S.
- 27 species found in SE
- dioacious
- grows faster than other
pigweeds (1-2” per day!!)
- more competitive than other
pigweeds
- prolific seed producer
- seed to seed 9-12 WAE
- 2 generations/year
- herbicide tolerance
SWSS Weed ID Guide
Herbicide Resistance Concerns in Georgia
- glyphosate
- ALS herbicides
- Atrazine
- Multiple resistance
– Glyphosate + ALS
Georgia counties confirmed to be infested with glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth.
2004 – 1 county 2005 – 2 counties 2006 – 7 counties 2007 – 10 counties 2008 – 6 so far 1-28-09
GA Confirmed ALS-Resistant Palmer Sites
2008 Triazine Resistance Survey
Macon County
4/20 sites resistant to 10X rate (4,5,15,20) 6/20 sites took 5 qts/A to kill (3,6,8,14,17,19)
Site 5 – Atrazine Resistance Survey
0.1 1 5 10 Atrazine (qts/ A)
*Not resistant to Evik (ametryn) or Direx (diuron)
How did this happen to us?????
- Economics drive farmer decisions
- No real long-term weed mgt.
planning
- Farm logistics
- Overuse of glyphosate
- Overuse of Staple and Cadre
- Reduced herbicides rates
- Reduced tillage
- Reduction in use of residuals
- Dryland production systems
Palmer Amaranth Biology
- How many seed?
- How long can the seed
survive in the soil?
- Where does most of the
germination occur?
- Pollen Drift

Herbicide Resistant Weeds
Pollen Drift
- Off-site movement (wind,
gravity, insects, man, animal)
- f resistance trait through
pollen
- Pollen from resistant male
fertilizes susceptible female to produce resistant progeny (seed)
- UGA researchers have
documented GR-trait movement of at least 960’ (Palmer amaranth). Palmer Amaranth Pollen Source: Dr. Lynn Sosnoskie

Cultural Practices

Crops planted from May 21-June 21 did not receive enough rainfall to activate herbicides (0.26” total). June Rainfall = 0.62” which occurred as follows:12 (0.08”); 22 (0.36”); 26 (0.08”); 29 (0.10”)

If residual herbicides are not activated on a timely basis with a reliable water source, pigweed control will be very difficult, maybe even impossible!
Dryland Systems
- Growers need to think
about mechanical herbicide incorporation
- Will help but not a
guarantee
- Success will depend
upon……
– operator – Implement – Soil conditions
Chemical Control Options
- Valor (flumioxazin)
- Reflex (fomesafen)
- Dual Magnum (S-metolachlor)
- Atrazine
- Liberty-Link (glufosinate)
- Sencor products (metribuzin)
- KIH-485

Don’t forget!!! There are no steel resistant weeds!!!
We are overusing the PPO inhibiting herbicides!!!!!!!!
- Resistance has already
been reported in other areas!!!
- Common waterhemp
– 2001 (Kansas) – 2002 (Illinois) – 2003 (Missouri)
- Common ragweed
– 2005 (Delaware)
- Wild poinsettia
