Herbicide resistance continues to be a major concern for Maryland soybean growers, particularly with palmer amaranth, common ragweed, common waterhemp and marestail. Previous research demonstrated the efficacy of various pre-emergent herbicide treatments for Palmer amaranth control. This research continues investigating strategies that will provide season-long control of Palmer amaranth. It evaluates combinations of pre-emergent herbicides with delayed early post residual herbicides and timed post-emergence herbicides. It continues to include evaluation of burndown treatments prior to planting, and evaluation of pre-emergent herbicides for confirmed ALS resistant common ragweed.
