Stanley Culpepper, University of Georgia Extension weed scientist, reminds producers of the need to consider herbicide-resistant weeds in their production systems.
"Traditionally, growers selected cotton cultivars based on agronomic characteristics such as yield and fiber quality," he says. "In Georgia for 2010, agronomic characteristics are critical, but just as important will be a grower's ability to manage glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth."
Culpepper continues to recommend layby-directed herbicide applications as the one effective tool still available to producers who are dealing with Palmer resistance.
