Author: Thomas Miller
Planning Unit: Ballard County CES
Major Program: Chemical Crop Management Tools
Plan of Work: Ballard County Farm Chemical Management
Outcome: Initial Outcome
On July 12, researchers from the UK Weed Science Group hosted a field day for Round Up Resistant Palmer Amaranth and Waterhemp in Barlow KY. The location has been a research location for 4 years after the first discovery of PPO resistant pigweeds in the state of KY.
Over 50 farmers, industry reps, retail salesmen and commercial applicators attended the plot tour where they learned about pre-emergence herbicide options, post emergence options and the results of weed science research being conducted across the state. This year several graduate students presented the results of their current research projects.
The event was supported by the United Soybean Board and the Take Action on Herbicide Resistant Weed program. The Ky Soybean Board also supported many of the research activities presented.
