Palmer Amaranth Confirmed in More N.D. Counties
Palmer amaranth has been confirmed in four more North Dakota counties.
The very aggressive, hard-to-control weed first was found in a row-crop field in McIntosh County this summer. The other four counties are Benson, Dickey, Foster and Richland. Plants in two counties were confirmed through laboratory analysis, and NDSU Extension specialists confirmed the plants as Palmer amaranth in the other two counties.
