Weed Management

“Combining narrower corn rows with herbicide programs increased light interception and improved control of resistant Palmer amaranth — an integrated tactic that reduces reliance on chemicals alone.”

“For Nebraska's number-one food-grade white corn — which can't use glyphosate — pre-emergence herbicides were tested to control multiple-herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth and curb its seed production.”

“Overlapping residual-herbicide programs controlled herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth in Nebraska seed-corn fields, protecting both yield and net economic returns.”

“Spraying resistant Palmer amaranth while it is small (10–15 cm) sharply improved control and cut seed production in herbicide-resistant corn — a clear timing rule for Nebraska growers.”
