    Late-Season Scouting for Palmer Amaranth

    Author(s): Mark Loux

    Palmer amaranth has shown up in a few more places in Ohio this summer at a range of infestation levels, and waterhemp has also become more prevalent. Newly discovered Palmer infestations in some fields were too high to be remediated by walking fields and removing plants, although there is still some potential to mow down weeds and soybeans to prevent seed production and even bigger problems next year.

  5. Adjusting No-till Burndown Programs for Later Planting

    Author(s): Mark Loux

    This is a revision of an article we seem to publish in C.O.R.N. about every three years, when wet weather prevents early planting and in some cases also prevents early burndown applications.  There have been opportunities to apply burndown herbicides in much of the state over the past several weeks, and some areas have made considerable progress on planting.  Other areas have made little progress.  We are probably not in a true “late planting situation” yet, but some of the state is now wet and not that warm, and more rain coming midweek.
