Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is a summer annual broadleaf weed that is native to the southwestern US and Mexico. These are the characteristics to pay attention to for accurate identification. Still, Palmer amaranth often towers over waterhemp. Leaves: Prominent white veins on the undersurface unlike redroot pigweed, not pubescent, alternate, without hairs (glabrous), and lance or egg-shaped. They emerge, grow, flower, set seed, and die within the frost-free growing season. Growth habit: Erect up to 6 ft. high. The petiole is as long as (or longer) than the leaf itself. New NDSU Publication. Extension / Petioles are often longer than the leaf blade. male female A. Hager Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) dioecious forb summer annual extended germination rapid life cycle many seeds very competitive . These seeds are small, short-lived, and can not germinate from deep in the soil. Growers lose effective management options later in the plant’s life cycle. Palmer amaranth has a prolonged germination period so postemergence herbicides may need to include a residual herbicide; cover crop residue often starts to degrade before crops form a dense crop canopy, more than one cultivation maybe needed. Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) is a problematic weed encountered in U.S. cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] The egg-shaped leaves are arranged alternately along the stem. It became a major agricultural weed in the southern Great Plains by the late 1990s (Horak, 1997), and now infests at least 750,000 acres of cot… Pollination: Occurs in following seasons depending on latitude and elevation: Summer to Fall. Spiny amaranth has a bushy growth pattern and will exhibit the spiny bracts throughout its life cycle where as Palmer will only have the bracts present at maturity and reproductive stages. Digital Media Library, College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. Like most weeds of our cropping system, Palmer amaranth is an annual that initiates growth each spring from seed present in the seedbank (Figure 4). Family: Pigweed, Amaranthaceae. Manage infested fields with no-till if possible, leaving any potential seeds near the soil surface.

General description: Erect plant reaching heights of 6 ft or greater. There is no evidence suggesting that it is any more adept at evolving herbicide resistance ... particularly given the spread of herbicide-resistant species such as horseweed and Palmer amaranth. Once the weed gets established in a field management becomes a long-term problem. The egg-shaped leaves are arranged alternately along the stem. One should evaluate how non-chemical tactics such as interrow cultivation, narrow-row spacing, and cover crops can be incorporated into weed management programs.

Palmer amaranth can be easily … Habitat: Crop fields, pastures, and roadsides. Male and female flowers form on separate plants (dioecious). Palmer amaranth, a summer annual, thrives in crops that havelife cycles similar to amaranth (e.g., corn, soybean), so it is well adapted to production systems reliant on herbicides. Life cycle: Summer annual. Knowledge of Palmer amaranth demographics and biology is essential for the development and implementation of weed management strategies. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Palmer amaranth density on seedling mortality, flowering initiation, and flowering progress throughout the growing season and biomass production and fecundity in wide-row soybean. Often, though, it reaches just 6- to 7-foot heights, says ISU’s Bob Hartzler. “We did a common garden study in Southern, Central, and Northern Illinois to ask if different varieties of Palmer amaranth from the south complete their life cycle in all three locations and cause yield loss in soybean,” said Adam Davis, a Weed Ecologist at the University of Illinois. Seedbank: Seeds of Palmer amaranth possess dormancy and are relatively persistent in the seedbank. Most pigweeds are tall, erect-to-bushy plants with simple, oval- to diamond-shaped, alternate leaves, and dense inflorescences (flower clusters) comprised of many small, greenish flowers. the life cycle is the key to developing successful weed management strategies.
