Distribution of glyphosate-and thifensulfuron-resistant Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) in North Carolina
Abstract: Glyphosate resistance in Palmer amaranth was first confirmed in North Carolina in 2005. A survey that year indicated 17 and 18% of 290 populations sampled were resistant to glyphosate and thifensulfuron, respectively. During the fall of 2010, 274 predetermined sites in North Carolina were surveyed to determine distribution of Palmer amaranth and to determine …
