Interference of Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) in Sweetpotato (2010, background): “Though often regarded collectively as ‘‘pigweeds,’’ Amaranthus species differ greatly in growth parameters including germination, seed production, height, biomass, and leaf area (Bensch et al. 2003; Guo and Al-Khatib 2003; Horak and Loughin 2000; Sellers et al. 2003).”
Residual Herbicides for Palmer Amaranth Control (2011, background): “Once established in fields, Palmer amaranth can be difficult to control due to its rapid growth, competitive ability, and prolific seed production (Bensch et al., 2003; Horak and Loughin, 2000; Keely et al., 1987; MacRae et al., 2008; Menges, 1987; Sellers et al., 2003).”
Biology of Amaranths (2017, background): “Weedy Amaranthus species are difficult to control due to their prolific seed production (200,000 to 600,000 seeds/female plant), small seed size, ability to cross successfully with other Amaranthus species, long germination period, high density of infestation, ability to rapidly evolve herbicide res”
Glyphosate and Multiple Herbicide Resistance in Common Waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis) Populations from Missouri (2008, background): “Waterhemp biotypes resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides are perhaps the most widespread, occurring on at least 810,000 has within eight states across the Midwest, whereas waterhemp biotypes resistant to PPO-inhibiting herbicides have also been discovered in Kansas, Illinois, and Missouri (Heap 200”
