A recently published article in the journal Weed Science demonstrates just how devastating Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) can be for furrow-irrigated rice production, even in small amounts. The findings show that successful, in-furrow rice production greatly hinges on Palmer amaranth-free fields—before, during, and after the growing season.
Even small amounts of Palmer amaranth threaten furrow-irrigated rice yields, research confirms
