Posted 7/24/2019
Waterhemp is a pigweed species you have likely been hearing about as a problem weed in the Midwest as populations have been found that are resistant to not only glyphosate but a number of other modes of action. It has since been found in NY & in the last year was found in a few fields in Oneida & Herkimer Counties. You likely heard discussion of this weed at winter meetings this year. A meeting organized by Jeff Miller of CCE Oneida County will be held July 24, 1 to 2:30 pm at the VanHatten Farm, 7810 Putnam Road, Barneveld, NY
Jeff has worked with Bryan Brown of the NY State IPM program to put out a herbicide trial with 12 different treatments to assess what herbicides might work effectively against this weed in our area.
