11:00am: Identifying Pigweeds (Tricks of the Trade) and an Update of Herbicide Resistance Screening in New York
- Dr. Lynn Sosnoskie, Assistant Professor of Weed Science

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.
