Methyl Bromide Alternatives 2018
Effective alternatives to methyl bromide exist but selecting the ideal fumigant, mulch, and herbicide
program is challenging. Growers must better understand how soil texture, moisture, bed compaction, and
their cultural practices influence fumigant activity, planting intervals, and off-gassing concerns.
This circular is provided to assist growers with developing the most effective system for their farm. Specialty Crop Visual Sensitivity Scale for 2,4-D and Dicamba for 2018

Crop rotation, tillage, and a sound herbicide program are all often critical components for long-term
success. This circular focuses on developing sound herbicide programs while minimizing crop injury
for the following production systems: 1) transplanting into mulch, 2) transplanting into bareground,
and 3) seeding into bareground. UGA Weed Control Programs for Yellow and Zucchini Squash in 2018
Crop rotation, tillage, and a sound herbicide program are all often critical components for long-term
success. This ciruclar focuses on developing sound herbicide programs while minimizing crop injury
for production systems including: 1) seeding into bareground, 2) transplanting into bareground,
and 3) transplanting into mulch. UGA Weed Control Programs for Watermelon in 2018
Crop rotation, tillage, and a sound herbicide program are all often critical components for long-term
success. This circular focuses on developing sound herbicide programs while minimizing crop injury
when 1) transplanting into small-bed flat mulch, 2) transplanting into bareground,
and 3) seeding into bareground. Palmer Amaranth Control in Cotton in 2018
At least three sound cotton weed management systems are available providing consistently effective weed control and those include 2,4-D, dicamba, and Roundup/Liberty programs. Timely applications and use of residual herbicides remain a
critical component of each system. Additionally, stewarding pesticides with a focus on making on-target applications and understanding where not to apply dicamba or 2,4-D is critical for long-term sustainability. Our focus with this
circular is to help growers implement sound programs for the control of Palmer amaranth, minimize cotton injury, and make on-target pesticide applications.
UGA Weed Control Programs for Wheat in 2017/2018
Ryegrass threatens Georgia wheat production, with numerous populations resistant to Osprey, PowerFlex,
Axial and Hoelon. Aggressive resistance management programs must be implemented to ensure long-term
sustainability of grain production. Rolling Rye For Conservation Tillage Cotton Success The Biology and Ecology of Palmer Amaranth: Implications for Control
Palmer amaranth is a highly competitive weed of field corn, cotton, peanut, and soybean and has been confirmed to be
resistant to glyphosate in nearly every agronomic county in GA. Glyphosate-resistant (GR) Palmer
amaranth’s establishment and spread has been assisted by its rapid growth rate, extensive rooting structure, high seed
production, physical seed movement (man, animal, water), and most importantly by pollen (wind) dispersal. University of Georgia Herbicide Programs for Tropical Spiderwort Control in 2013 Cotton
Tropical spiderwort is a noxious, exotic, invasive
weed that can spread quickly. Upon initial
observation, tropical spiderwort appears to be a grass. While not a grass, it is a monocot (in
contrast to broadleaf weeds, which are dicots) with
leaves and stems usually fleshy and succulent. The
stems will creep along the ground and root at the
nodes. Vegetative cuttings from stems are capable
of rooting and reestablishing following cultivation.
Tropical spiderwort will produce seed above and
below ground.
