The next Agronomy and Horticulture seminar is Sept. 10
Jason Norsworthy, Distinguished Professor and Elms Farming Chair of Weed Science at the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, will present “Are Chemistry, Application Technology, and Traits Staying Ahead of Palmer Amaranth?,” on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. CDT in Keim Hall 150 or streamed live via Zoom at https://go.unl.edu/seminars.
Palmer amaranth with resistance to multiple herbicide sites of action is becoming increasingly common across U.S. cropping systems, often outpacing the commercialization of new and effective chemical options. Norsworthy will examine strategies for managing Palmer amaranth, along with potential future traits that could address this ongoing challenge.
