Brief Project Summary:

Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth has been economically devastating to row-crop producers in southern United States. The threat of glyphosate-resistant weeds, especially a devastating weed like Palmer amaranth, has a substantial impact on Michigan soybean growers. Glyphosate-resistant weeds impact growers economically and emotionally. For example, management of glyphosate-resistant weeds increase weed control costs substantially. They also effect the long-term management of a particular field. In areas in the south where glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth is wide-spread land values have decreased and many times hand labor is needed to manage this weed.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Information on the management of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth to Michigan soybean producers.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
