Palmer Amaranth Control in the Southeast - Pigweed Eradication 101

In the Southeast, many farmers have already taken a zero-tolerance approach to weevils and other pests, but the same mindset can be adopted for controlling Palmer amaranth across specific crops and characteristics of the region.

In this episode of Pigweed Eradication 101, focused on southern agricultural systems, BASF's Matt Cook and tech rep Greg Stapleton discuss weed eradication practices that many southern farmers are already implementing, and the renewed focus and diligence required to scale that across all acres for a zero-tolerance pigweed mindset.

Outside of crop rotation, narrow row spacing, and burndown applications, southern farmers should start with clean fields so they stay clean, know field and herbicide program history, and layer residuals with multiple sites of action at all application timings during the season including a pre-emergence.

The pigweed resistance battle is long-term, requiring planning and constant adjustment. Protect the longevity of your farm with the cultural and mechanical practices of Operation Weed Eradication: https://bit.ly/3J9ZNXv
