The Western Society of Weed Science will host a free symposium on Palmer amaranth on Thursday, March 7, at the Grand Hyatt in Denver, Colo. The symposium will be held during the society’s annual meeting.
Parts of Colorado and Western Nebraska have struggled with herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth for several years, with significant impacts on minor and specialty crop industries. In 2023, Palmer amaranth was identified for the first time in the Intermountain West and Pacific Northwest. The symposium will bring together academics, industry leaders, and impacted stakeholders to discuss Palmer's current and anticipated impacts across the region.
The symposium is free to the public as a service of the WSWS. It will also be streamed live at https://unl.zoom.us/j/94462430766.
