Harpe Bio’s Post

Farmers have reported yield losses from uncontrolled Palmer amaranth of up to 91% in corn and 79% in soybeans, according to USDA.⁠ ⁠ Palmer Amaranth and Waterhemp, both pigweed species, are often cited as driver weeds in the U.S. because of their prolific seed production, competitiveness with crops, genetic diversity, and ability to germinate throughout the growing season.⁠ ⁠ And in a recent AgWeb poll asking more than 400 farmers -- What Is Your Top Weed Nemesis on Your Farm? It’s no surprise that Waterhemp took the top spot, earning 35% of the votes. The second was Palmer amaranth, with 15% of the votes.⁠ ⁠ In this video, the all-natural formulation of Harpe Bioherbicide can be seen controlling Waterhemp (left) and Palmer amaranth (right) which are resistant to multiple synthetic herbicides including glyphosate.⁠ ⁠ Harpe Bioherbicide formulations feature a series of naturally occurring active ingredient molecules found in plant extracts that can effectively eliminate resistant and tough-to-control weeds.⁠ ⁠ Learn more about us at HarpeBio.com, and read more about these multi-resistant weeds at AgWeb.com. ⁠ #palmeramaranth #waterhemp #multiresistantweeds
