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

Herbicide Resistance Concerns in Georgia

  • glyphosate
  • ALS herbicides
  • Atrazine
  • Multiple resistance

– Glyphosate + ALS

Georgia counties confirmed to be infested with glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth.

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
slide-12
SLIDE 12

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

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

been reported in other areas!!!
