Editor’s Note: The author, Matt Hagny with Pinnacle Crop Tech in Salina, Kansas, has been an independent crop consultant specializing in no-till systems since 1994. Some farmers outside of the South still seem a bit too relaxed in their approach to Palmer pigweed control. That could be an expensive oversight. This threat isn’t going to be easily overcome — like we did with marestail, ragweed, and many other weed-resistance problems. Those are weak sisters compared to Palmer pigweed.
