Database Research Summaries2018 Late Herbicide Applications for a Palmer Amaranth: Can We Prevent a Train Wreck?
Research Focus
The focus of this project is to examine the benefit of cereal rye to provide prolonged weed control and reduce herbicide inputs.
Objectives
- Management of large Palmer amaranth; impact on yield and weed seed production.
- Investigate utility of late-terminated cereal rye for reducing herbicide inputs for Palmer amaranth management.
Results
Results will be updated upon completion of the project.
Importance
This research will benefit Delaware’s soybean growers and the soybean industry by knowing potential options when spraying large Palmer amaranth plants and expand the options of non-chemical strategies to help control plants with few to no herbicide options.
