Glyphosate + Staple. 4 DAT. Tifton, GA IF POSSIBLE: Avoid high amounts of dew Avoid WET conditions Avoid cool nights Don’t add additional adjuvants
Will we ever quit going over the top of RR cotton after the 5th leaf stage??
Seed Cotton Yield Response to Glyphosate Applied Topically. Grady County, 2003. -37% Lb/A Ru @ 4lf and LPD + RU @ 8- to 9-leaf Prowl applied PRE over entire study
Late-Season Weed Control!! *Large number of effective options *Apply glyphosate very precisely *Consider some 3 way conventional mixtures *Use products that offer residual control, especially for many of our grassy and pigweed fields
Morningglory Continues to be Troublesome to Georgia Growers? At plant: Cotoran, Direx, Staple Early Post: Glyphosate, Staple, Staple Plus, Envoke, Liberty Directed: MSMA plus Caparol, Cobra, Cotoran, Direx, Goal, Staple, Suprend, Linex, glyphosate plus Aim, Caparol, Direx, Harvade, Staple, Valor, ET 751
Morningglory Continues to be Troublesome to Georgia Growers? Timeliness of application (i.e. large at time of application) No residual in the system
Residual Morningglory Control? Cotoran Direx Staple Caparol
Fairly common scene at harvest across the state
Two Possible Issues? Pigweed is to large at time of layby Pigweed comes up after layby
Two Possible Issues? Pigweed is to large at time of layby a) add a preemergence herbicide such a yellow herbicide, Cotoran, Staple b) Add Dual or Staple in at early POST
Two Possible Issues? 2. Pigweed comes up after layby a) use layby option with residual activity such as Direx, Caparol, Prowl
Nutsedge in RR Cotton Glyphosate cot. to 1-leaf Glyphosate 4 to 5-leaf Layby with MSMA mixture, or if large grass glyphosate mixture Consider adding Envoke into the program after the 5th leaf stage of cotton production.
Spiderworts rank as Georgia’s Most troublesome weeds in cotton 1999: not ranked 2001: ninth 2003: number 1 2004: number 1, 2, and 3
Spray within three weeks after emergence (Aim, Gramoxone mixtures, 2,4-D) If spiderwort is extremely large: 2,4-D 1 qt/A followed by Gramoxone couple weeks later disking????? So what should we do for fallow control??
Potential Cotton Program at this time???? Plant early Plant aggressively growing cultivar (shade soil early) Reduce seed production after other crops!!!!!!! Reduce the alarming rate of spread!!!!!!!! 5. Cotoran PRE (if planting at or near time of emergence) 6. Glyphosate + Dual early POST (Backbone of program) 7. Direx, Valor, or Caporol + MSMA (add Aim if weed bigger than 3 inches) (add more Dual if cotton is less than 12 inches)
