Prostko’s Picks for PigweedProstko’s Picks for Pigweed
• Know your enemy!
• Drill a well!
• Start Clean!
• Use a residual!
• POST treatments when 3” tall or less
• Remove escapes before seed production
• Think About the Future– Overuse of PPO’s

Palmer Amaranth FactsPalmer Amaranth Facts (Amaranthus palmeri)
• grows faster than other pigweeds (1-2” per day!!)
• more competitive than other pigweeds
– 1 plant/row meter = 33% soybean yield loss
• prolific seed producer
– 400,000+/plant
• Most emerges from 1” or less!
• Pollen can move at least 900’!
• Seed do not last very long in soil!

Why metribuzin on soybean?Why metribuzin on soybean?
• Not a PPO
• Good on pigweed
• Can be applied PPI
• Issues
– soil texture, OM, pH
– Varieties
– Rotations
– Company support
– Lack of incentive at dealer level
– Cost/A

• Not necessarily a direct replacement for Roundup!
• Use a residual herbicide in this system!!!!!!!
• Not usually good on pigweed bigger than 3”
• Tank-mixes with POST grass herbicides may reduce grass control
– Assure (10-21%); Fusilade (8-12%); Poast (25-41%); Select 4-22%)
• Variety performance?
