Lint Cotton Yields in RR Cotton when Treated Topically with Glyphosate at Various Growth Stages a a a b 1) Ten plants per plot were hand harvested on October 10, 1999 in Moultrie, GA. 2) Roundup Ultra applied at 1 qt/A broadcast over-the-top. Conventional plots treated with standard herbicide system.
Glyphosate Overtop After 4th Leaf Stage • Can cause boll shed, delay maturity Salvage treatment only
Is Stem Absorption of Glyphosate Directed in RR Cotton a Concern? No noted concerns with precision applications in field trials Lab data from North Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi? What about sloppy directed applications?

Directing Glyphosate in RR Cotton? • Precision PD or hooded sprayers
Directing Glyphosate in RR Cotton? • Precision PD or hooded sprayers • Direct spray to the base of the cotton plants
Directing Glyphosate in RR Cotton? • Precision PD or hooded sprayers • Direct spray to the base of the cotton plants • Contact of spray with cotton leaves should be avoided to the maximum extent possible
Directing Glyphosate in RR Cotton? • Precision PD or hooded sprayers • Direct spray to the base of the cotton plants • Contact of spray with cotton leaves should be avoided to the maximum extent possible • Place nozzles in low position directing a horizontal spray pattern under the cotton leaves to contact weeds in the row
