WEEDS

2011 Beltwide Consultants Conference

New Products/Technologies

1. Glytol + Liberty Link Cotton

2. 2,4-D Resistant Cotton (2015?)

3. Dicamba Resistant Cotton (2015?)

1. Exceptional tolerance to Ignite and Roundup

2. Systems approach including residuals and other chemistry will offer excellent control of most weeds.

Palmer response to Ignite

WATER VOLUME AND NOZZLE TYPE IS CRITICAL

Do not apply within an hour of sunrise

MUST KILL IT WITH THE FIRST APPLICATION

Application Timing is Critical in LL Cotton

3” Palmer: 29 to 32 oz/A = >98% control

3-4”: 36 oz/A = 88 to 100% control

4-6” Palmer: 43 oz/A = 70 to 100% control

>6” Palmer: 43 oz and get the hoes ready

Phytogen Widestrike Cotton

1. Confers tolerance to Ignite

2. Tolerance not complete; injury will occur and yield loss can occur if you don’t know what you are doing.

3. According to EPA, Ignite can be applied to widestrike cotton.

4. However, grower is liable as neither Bayer nor Dow recommend or warrant the use of Ignite on Widestrike cotton

Will There Be Value in 2,4-D- or Dicamba-Resistant Traits for Cotton Growers?

1. Tool for managing GR ragweed, horseweed, Palmer, morningglory, perennial weeds, winter annual weeds

2. No preplant interval for burndown

3. A new mode of action for in-crop control

4. Applications overtop of cotton

5. Price of herbicides are currently economical

6. Option to rotate with Roundup for resistance mgmt
