Managing Palmer amaranth will be the featured topic at a Pigweed Field Day hosted by Mississippi State University’s Delta Research and Extension Center on Thursday, June 14, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“Mississippi producers combat numerous weed species throughout the growing season, but no single weed can have as much of a negative impact on row crops as Palmer amaranth,” said Tom Eubank, DREC soybean weed scientist and agronomist.
This year’s event will be held off-station near Greenville. To reach the site, travel Highway 82 west through Greenville. After crossing Reed Boulevard, go approximately 2.2 miles and turn south onto Tampa Drive. The site is about a mile from Highway 82. Direction signs will be posted en route.
Registration is free with lunch provided. Participants may register at the site or online (submit the form below). Boots are recommended. Continuing education credits will be provided.
