How Fast Can Roundup-Resistant Palmer Pigweed Build? Read This.

Leaving just 5 Roundup-resistant female Palmer pigweed plants per acre - even with 99.9% control the next year - leads to 400 per acre the next year. With similar control, by the third year you’ll have 32,000 female plants producing resistant offspring. See last week's Seminole Co., Ga., E-letter for more info on seed bank concept.
