Palmer Amaranth Field Day
With over 100,000 seed per plant produced by Palmer Amaranth this weed is a serious threat to crop production in the four river counties. On July 16, 2019 in Fulton County Carlisle, Hickman and Fulton counties hosted the Palmer Amaranth Field Day.
Even in the pouring rain producers ventured out to participate. Research plots with current and new herbicides on tolerant soybean varieties were planted and sprayed. Travis Legleiter UKY weed specialist and his graduate students were in charge of the plots. Producers were able to walk the plots and talks were given on each of the sprayed plot sections.
