“Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth is becoming a new reality in the Texas High Plains,” Merchant says. “This pest has already caused costly impacts on cotton production in the Southeast and Mid-south. As part of our efforts to reduce its impact to cotton production in our area, we are conducting a survey to determine weed management systems commonly used by our growers.”
