These include crop rotation, tillage, and the use of cover crops.
Tall waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) is a summer annual broadleaf weed native to North America, found in 40 of the 50 U.S. states. It is characterized by its lack of hair on its stems and leaves, long and narrow leaves, and erect and slender stems. It is a dioecious plant, with terminal spike inflorescences and very short bracts with simple to highly branched flowers. It is most common in the Great Plains and Great Lakes regions, and thrives in wet habitats such as ponds, marshes, lakes, creeks, and other riparian zones. It produces a large number of very small seeds, and germination occurs typically after soil temperature alternation. It is considered an r-strategist, and has been found to be resistant to some herbicides, including ALS inhibiting, triazines, acifluorfen, HPPD inhibitors, and 2,4-D. The most effective control of tall waterhemp is achieved by cultural practices that promote growth of the desired vegetation.
