Brief Project Summary:

Residual herbicides help farmers control problem weeds like Palmer amaranth and morning glory. This research evaluates the effectiveness of various approaches for Palmer amaranth control and other problem weed species. It compares residual herbicide combinations for morning glory and Palmer amaranth control. Trials also evaluate the management of cereal rye cover crop for Palmer amaranth control and determine interaction of rye cover crop with soil-applied herbicide applications. The effort also examines various herbicide options for control of Palmer amaranth in double-cropped soybeans. The research is designed to address weed control in terms of effectiveness, adaptability to Delaware’s specific needs, as well as resistance management.
