For best results, apply to weeds that are less than 4 inches tall (less than 3 inch rosettes). Use higher rate for treating larger weeds. Add a COC (1‐2 gal per 100 gals spray solution, NIS (1 qt per 100 gals spray solution, or MSO (1‐2 gal per 100 gals of spray solution). Add 2,4‐D LVE to improve control of cutleaf eveningprimrose and wild radish. Tank mix partners include GLYPHOSATE, LIBERTY, GRAMOXONE, 2,4‐D LVE, or CLARITY. Rainfast interval = 68 hours. Brake F16 2.7 SC (fluridone + fomesafen) 16 fl oz 0.15 lb + 0.1875 lb 12 14 None 24 hours Comments: Apply BRAKE F16 up to 14 days before planting cotton. Very effective on Palmer amaranth (glyphosateresistant and ALSresistant biotypes). Do not apply more than 16 fl oz per acre per season. Do not apply by air or through an irrigation system. Dry weather following application of BRAKE F16 will reduce its effectiveness on Palmer amaranth. Tank mix Brake F16 with glyphosate and 2,4‐D for control of existing weeds prior to planting. Follow up BRAKE F16 with a residual herbicide program at planting. Clarity 4S (dicamba) 8.0 fl oz 0.25 lb 4 7 days 24 hours Comments: Excellent control of most winter annual broadleaf weeds. Following application of CLARITY and at least 1 inch rainfall, a waiting period of at least 21 days is required before cotton planting. In general, CLARITY is less effective than 2,4‐D LVE on cutleaf eveningprimrose control. Rainfast interval = 4 hours. Direx 4L (diuron) 1.5‐2.0 pt 0.75‐1.0 lb 7 7 days 12 hours Comments: Apply in a minimum of 10 GPA of water per acre. Controls winter annual weeds (up to 2” in size) and provides some residual control into the early growing season. Must be applied 15 to 150 days prior to cotton planting. Add a compatibility agent to the spray tank when tank mixing with GLYPHOSATE. Do not apply where soil‐applied organophosphate insecticide was used as severe crop injury will occur. Do not apply to sandy or sandy loam soils with organic matter less than 1.0%. Rainfast interval = heavy rainfall soon after application may wash product off of the foliage and a repeat application may be needed to ensure adequate weed control (suggest 1 hour). ET 0.208 EC (pyraflufen ethyl) ET X 0.338 EC 0.5‐2.0 fl oz 0.3‐0.6 fl oz 0.0008‐0.003 lb 14 ‐‐‐ 12 hours Comments: Cotton may be planted any time after ET application. For best result, apply ET to broadleaf weeds less than 4 inches tall or rosettes less than 3 inches in diameter. Do not apply more than 2.0 oz/A for burndown. Add a suitable adjuvant like NIS at 1.0% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal of spray solution) will optimize weed control. Ground application requires minimum of 10 gallons/A. Do not allow livestock to graze in treated areas. Rainfast interval = 1 hour.
