Palmer Amaranth's Molecular Secrets Reveal Troubling Potential
Palmer's resistance to PPO-inhibiting herbicides, a group of chemicals that disrupt chlorophyll synthesis, is especially problematic with glyphosate out of the picture. Farmers had been turning to PPO-inhibitors as an effective alternative until resistance was discovered in waterhemp in 2001 and in Palmer in 2011.
