Changes in Cotton Weed Management Practices Following the Development of Glyphosate-Resistant Palmer Amaranth

A written survey was developed and administered in order to characterize Georgia growers’ cotton producing practices before and after the development of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. The survey specifically asked growers and extension agents from across the state to describe the chemical, cultural and mechanical weed control practices that were used on their farms prior to and then following 2005. Additional questions queried farmers about the costs associated with weed control and about the most significant weeds occurring in cotton.
