Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth currently infests 10 Georgia counties. Currently, it is not
economically feasible to manage this resistant pest in Roundup Ready cotton when produced
without irrigation. Studies were conducted to compare standard Roundup Ready weed
management programs to similar programs in Liberty Link cotton to determine if this pest can be
controlled more effectively with Ignite based programs when the crop is produced without
irrigation.
