  3. Some facts that should scare you! 1 Palmer amaranth plant per meter (3.2 ft) of row can reduce peanut yield by 28%. 1 Palmer amaranth plant per meter (3.2 ft) of crop row can result in the production of ~162,000,000 seed/acre. Source: Burke et al., 2007. Weed Technology 21:367-371
  4. R-Palmer amaranth seed longevity Source: Dr. Lynn Sosnoskie - UGA
  5. Palmer Amaranth Control in Peanuts Deep tillage or extreme cover crops Start Clean!!!!! Use a residual!!! Do you have ALS or DNA resistance? Are you willing to use Valor? Dryland or Irrigated? Spray when plants are small (<3”) Rope-wick Applications last resort
  6. No Deep Tillage Deep Turn No Herbicide Treatment
  7. Late-season Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Control in Dryland Conservation Tillage Cotton. Macon Co., GA 2008.* 50 b 74 a Included: Prowl + Reflex PRE Roundup + Dual Magnum POST Direx + MSMA PD %

  12. If residual herbicides are not activated on a timely basis with a reliable water source, pigweed control will be very difficult, maybe even impossible!
  13. May 2008 Rainfall Distribution in Tifton (CPES) Dryland crops planted before May 9 or after May 16 did not get enough rain to activate residual herbicides!!! First rainfall event > 0.5” in June occurred on June 15 (1.03”) 0.33” 0.02” 0.06”
  14. May-June 2008 Rainfall Distribution in Midville 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”)
  15. May-June 2008 Rainfall Distribution in Moultrie
  16. Dryland Systems Growers need to think about mechanical herbicide incorporation Will help but not a guarantee Success will depend upon…… operator Implement Soil conditions Dual Magnum PPI (1 pt/A) POST (1 pt/A)
  17. Can you mechanically incorporate Valor? Only labeled for PRE applications May lose 25-50% of weed control when mechanically incorporated (PPI) Valent not liable for reduced performance if applied PPI

  19. What about the generic formulations of metolachlor? Me-Too-Lachlor, Parallel PCS, Stalwart Frequently, but not always, they do not last as long as Dual Magnum
  20. Palmer Amaranth Control in Peanut with Dual Magnum and Stalwart PE-03-07 Both applied at 1 pt/A *Significantly different at 53 DAT and 94 DAT (P = 0.10) * *
