  1. How Serious is the Herbicide Resistant Weed Issue? Eric P. Prostko Extension Weed Specialist Department of Crop & Soil Sciences
  2. Is the sky falling? Did it already fall? Chicken Little
  3. Consequences of Resistance? Macon County, Georgia (2008)
  4. Herbicide Resistant Weeds Selection Pressure Source: J.L. Gunsolus. Herbicide Resistant Weeds. 1998. North Central Region Extension Publication 468.
  5. Herbicide Resistant Weeds Pollen Drift Off-site movement (wind, gravity, insects) of resistance trait through pollen Pollen from resistant male fertilizes susceptible female to produce resistant progeny UGA researchers have documented GR-trait movement of at least 900’ (Palmer amaranth). Palmer Amaranth Pollen Source: Dr. Lynn Sosnoskie
  6. The US Wins the Gold Medal in Resistance!!!! Source: International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds (6/4/09) #4 – France (32); #5 – Spain (31)
  7. Worldwide Number of Glyphosate Resistant Weeds By Year (Cumulative) (Roundup was first introduced in 1974) Source: International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds (6/4/09)
  8. Confirmed Number of Herbicide Resistant Weeds in the Peanut Belt 3 5 5 12 10 3 5 7 9 1 Source: International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds (6/4/09) 15 11 5
  9. How did all this happen????? Economics drive farmer decisions No real long-term weed mgt. planning Farm logistics timeliness Overuse (abuse) of glyphosate Staple/Cadre in cotton/peanut Reduced herbicides rates Reduced tillage Reduction in use of residuals Reduction in cultivation Dryland production systems Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Amaranth Macon County, Georgia
  10. What can we do about it now! Must understand modes of action Start clean! Skimp up front, pay later Conventional tillage if needed/practical Dryland, reduced tillage systems are in jeopardy!!! Use a RESIDUAL herbicide in ALL crops! Prevent escaped weeds from going to seed!
  11. PRE No PRE 18 DAP 2009 Macon County GR-Palmer Tests
  12. 2009 GR-Palmer Amaranth Test Macon County SB-06-09 May 15, 2009 24 DAT NTC Boundary 6.5EC 1.75 pt/A PRE
  13. Herbicide Modes of Action Do not worry about the technical stuff! Check the label Local Extension Service Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) http://www.hracglobal.com/ Know what you are spraying!! 2,4-D chemical structure
  14. Under Utilized Herbicide Modes of Action Can we use them????? HPPD-inhibitors Mesiotrione (Callisto) Tembotrione (Laudis) Topramezone (Impact) Isoxaflutole (Balance Flexx)
  15. Palmer Amaranth Control in Field Corn with HPPD Herbicides - 2009 NTC Corvus 2.6SC @ 3.33 oz/A PRE (April 11) Photo June 4 (54 DAT)
  16. 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 2004 (Brazil)
