Palmer amaranth is one of the most problematic weed species in the
United States. Its biology and ability to become resistant to multiple classes
of herbicides make this weed very difficult to control. We will discuss
biology, identification methods, closely related species, and management tools
for this newly found weed species in Southwest New York. In addition, we will
discuss research being conducted at Cornell University on weeds like marestail
and waterhemp.
