Characterization And Management Of Auxin-Resistant Palmer Amaranth In Tennessee, Delaney C. Foster
Characterization And Management Of Auxin-Resistant Palmer Amaranth In Tennessee, Delaney C. Foster
Doctoral Dissertations
Palmer amaranth has a long history of evolving resistance to herbicides to the point it has become a significant row crop production obstacle. Cotton and soybean growers were offered new technologies in 2016, expanding in-crop herbicide options to include dicamba or 2,4-D. Within three years of commercialization, dicamba use in these crops increased ten-fold and growers began to report Palmer amaranth escapes in west Tennessee auxin-tolerant production systems. A survey of Palmer amaranth escapes in dicamba and 2,4-D-tolerant cotton and soybean fields in Tennessee was conducted in the fall of 2021 with the objective of determining if poor control was …

Utilizing Cover Crops To Improve Sustainability Of Conventional Weed Management Programs, Garret Brown Montgomery
Doctoral Dissertations
Research was conducted from the fall of 2014 to the fall of 2016 to evaluate the optimal utilization of cover crops for weed control in no-till environments. Studies included a corn (Zea mays L.) termination timing study to evaluation different termination intervals of cereal rye (Cereal rye L.), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.), and a combination of cereal rye and hairy vetch cover crops on corn growth and development, an evaluation of a roller crimper for cover crop termination prior to corn study, an evaluation of a roller crimper for cover crop termination prior to soybeans [ …
Integration And Management Of Winter-Annual Cover Crops And Herbicides To Control Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus Palmeri S. Wats), Matthew Scott Wiggins
Integration And Management Of Winter-Annual Cover Crops And Herbicides To Control Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus Palmeri S. Wats), Matthew Scott Wiggins
Doctoral Dissertations
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the integration of high residue winter-annual cover crops with herbicides, both preemergence and postemergence, to control glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. The results of these trials indicated that winter-annual cover crops improved early-season weed suppression. However, cover crops alone or as part of an integrated weed management system including only preemergence or only postemergence herbicides was not sufficient to control of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. Therefore, winter-annual cover crops should be used in conjunction with existing weed control tactics to achieve adequate glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth control, where applicable.
