  1. Strategies for Managing Herbicide Resistant Palmer Amaranth in Soybean - 2012 Eric P. Prostko Professor and Extension Weed Specialist Dept. Crop & Soil Sciences
  2. Herbicide-Resistant Palmer Amaranth in GA ALS (2000) Glyphosate (2005) Atrazine (2009) ALS + GLY (2009) DNA + ALS + GLY (2010) ALS + GLY + ATZ (2011)
  3. Important Things We Know About Palmer Amaranth Well-adapted to Georgia! Native to Sonoran desert Separate male and female plants Lots of seed!!!! 400,000 – 500,000/female plant Seed do not last long in soil 20% germ after 30 months Seed do not emerge from deep depths (= 3-4”) Seed need light to germinate Resistance trait moves in pollen At least 1000 feet!!
  4. Palmer Amaranth Very ompetitive 1 Palmer amaranth plant per meter (3.3 ft) of row can reduce soybean yield by 32%.
  5. Pigweed Control is not impossible!!!! Common Reasons for Failure: 1) did not start clean 2) did not use a residual 3) residual did not get activated 4) POST applications are too late 5) short arms and deep pockets
  6. Many pigweed problems are due to weeds already up at planting!
  7. Palmer Amaranth Growth 22 days after starting clean June 22, 2011 Attapulgus, GA
  8. Dryland Production Systems A Difficult Challenge! Growers need to think about mechanical herbicide incorporation Will help but not a guarantee Success will depend upon…… operator implement soil conditions
  9. Tillage and Pigweed Bottom Plow Chisel Plow Source: Twiggs Co., April 22, 2010
  10. Extreme Cover Crops 1 2 3 4
  11. Row Spacing
  12. Irrigation
  13. Herbicides for Pigweed Control in Soybeans Residual Herbicides Authority MTZ, Authority XL, Canopy/Cloak, Boundary, Valor, Valor XLT, Prefix, Dual Magnum/Generics, Tricor, Prowl, Intrro, Treflan, Envive, Warrant Postemergence Reflex/Dawn, Prefix, Cobra, Ultra Blazer, Flexstar GT, Harmony (ALS?), Ignite (LL soybeans)
  14. 2012 Monsanto Incentives Program
  15. Consider metribuzin on soybean? Not a PPO Not a PPO Good on pigweed Can be applied PPI Issues soil texture, OM, pH Varieties Rotations Company support Lack of incentive at dealer level Cost/A TriCor 75DF Metribuzin 75DF
