Strategies for Managing Herbicide Resistant Palmer Amaranth in Soybean - 2012 Eric P. Prostko Professor and Extension Weed Specialist Dept. Crop & Soil Sciences
Herbicide-Resistant Palmer Amaranth in GA • ALS (2000) • Glyphosate (2005) • Atrazine (2009) • ALS + GLY (2009) • DNA + ALS + GLY (2010) • ALS + GLY + ATZ (2011)
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!!
Palmer AmaranthVery ompetitive • 1 Palmer amaranth plant per meter (3.3 ft) of row can reduce soybean yield by 32%.
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
Many pigweed problems are due to weeds already up at planting!

Dryland Production SystemsA Difficult Challenge! • Growers need to think about mechanical herbicide incorporation • Will help but not a guarantee • Success will depend upon…… • operator • implement • soil conditions

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)
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

Final Thoughts • Know your enemy • Start Clean • Tillage and/or Cover Crops • Narrower Row Spacing • Residual herbicides (2) • Reward Programs • Timely POST’s • Irrigation system????? • Roque Escapes
