Velvetleaf

Overview

Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) is a highly invasive annual weed that poses significant challenges to various crops across the United States and Canada. Known for its broad, heart-shaped leaves and distinctive seed pods, velvetleaf can grow up to 8 feet tall, creating dense stands that compete aggressively with crops for light, nutrients, and water. This competition can lead to substantial yield losses, particularly in crops like corn, soybeans, cotton, and various vegetables.

In corn and soybean fields, velvetleaf can reduce yields by shading out the crop and competing for essential resources. Its rapid growth and prolific seed production make it difficult to control once established. In cotton fields, velvetleaf can interfere with harvesting equipment and reduce the quality of the cotton fiber. Vegetable crops are also at risk, as velvetleaf can harbor pests and diseases that further impact crop health and productivity.

How to Identify Velvetleaf

Identifying velvetleaf early is crucial for effective management. Here are a few characteristics to help farmers recognize this invasive weed:

Seedlings:

  • The first leaves are heart-shaped, with a smooth surface and a slightly notched tip. They are typically about 1-2 cm long.

  • The stem below the first emerging leaves is often covered with fine hairs.

Leaves:

  • Shape: Velvetleaf leaves are large, heart-shaped, and can grow up to 6-8 inches long and wide.

  • Texture: The leaves have a velvety texture due to a dense covering of fine hairs.

  • Color: They are typically a bright green color.

  • Arrangement: Leaves are arranged alternately along the stem.The leaf stalk (petiole) is long and also covered with fine hairs.

Stems:

  • Height: Velvetleaf can grow up to 8 feet tall.

  • Texture: The stems are stout, erect, and covered with fine hairs, giving them a velvety feel.

  • Color: Stems are green but may have a reddish tinge.

Flowers:

  • Appearance: The flowers are small, about 1 inch in diameter, with five yellow to orange petals.

  • Bloom Time: Flowers typically bloom from mid-summer to early fall.

  • Location: Flowers are borne singly or in small clusters in the leaf axils (where the leaf meets the stem).

Seed Pods:

  • Shape: The seed pods are distinctive, resembling a small, spiny, cup-like structure with a series of beak-like projections.

  • Size: Each pod is about 1 inch in diameter.

  • Color: Pods are green when immature and turn brown as they mature.

  • Seeds: Each pod contains numerous small, hard, kidney-shaped seeds that are dark brown to black.

Roots:

  • Type: Velvetleaf has a taproot system.

  • Depth: The taproot can penetrate deeply into the soil, making mature plants difficult to pull out.

By closely examining these characteristics, farmers can accurately identify velvetleaf and implement appropriate control measures to manage its spread and impact on crops.

Timing of Velvetleaf Emergence

Velvetleaf typically emerges in the spring when soil temperatures reach around 55-60°F, which can vary depending on the region. In the United States, this generally means velvetleaf starts to impact fields from late April to early May. The weed continues to grow and compete with crops throughout the summer, peaking in its impact during the mid to late growing season.

How to Manage Velvetleaf in Corn and Soybeans

Farmers can chemically manage velvetleaf in corn fields using herbicides such as AgSaver™ Glyphosate 53.8% and Willowood Paraquat 3SL*. AgSaver™ Glyphosate 53.8% contains glyphosate, isopropylamine salt, and is labeled for use on velvetleaf in corn. Willowood Paraquat 3SL* contains paraquat dichloride and is also labeled for use on velvetleaf in corn.

These herbicides can be effective tools in an integrated weed management strategy to control velvetleaf and minimize its impact on corn yields.
