Investigation Confirms Case Of Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Pigweed In Georgia
The resistant population infests 500 acres of Roundup Ready® cotton in central Georgia. Additional herbicide products have provided effective control of the resistant population. Dr. Culpepper and Monsanto are surveying the surrounding area this season to determine if this biotype has spread. When glyphosate resistant weed biotypes have been identified in the past, they have been effectively managed with other herbicides and/or cultural practices, such as tillage.
