1. New products/formulations 2. XtendFlex/GlytolLibertyLink/Widestrike 3. Conservation Tillage 4. Auxin Tolerant Technologies 5. Reminder of keys for success 2016 Cotton Weed Control
Warrant Ultra Herbicide • Mix of Warrant + fomesafen (i.e Reflex). • Label: preplant, PRE at-planting, & directed. • 3. Monsanto literature: 48-70 fl oz • 4. Suggest (38 oz)= 12oz Reflex + 2.2pt Warrant • 5. Add ½ pt of Warrant for Roundup system.
Glufosinate Formulations - Cotton Slide from Prostko
Brake Non-treated • Section 18 • New chemistry for agronomics. • Mix of fluridone and fomesafen (i.e. Reflex). • Apply PRE behind press wheel (~16 oz/A). • Very good for weeds, costly, watch carryover, systems approach required.
Similar chemistry as Dual and Warrant. • Minimal research in RR or RR/LL cotton. • Positioning for dicamba-tolerant cotton? • Overtop from 1 leaf – 2nd wk of bloom. • Label: up to 21 oz/A; suggest 12-16 oz/A.
Similar chemistry as Dual and Warrant. • DIRECTED application after 7-leaf cotton. • Label: 0.75 to 1.5 oz/A; suggest 0.75-1 oz/A mixed with Direx + MSMA for longer and better residual control.
Valor + Zidua • PRECISION DIRECTED, 18+ inch, bark! • Label: 3 oz/A • Mix with MSMA or Roundup……very good but can be hot stuff.

Using Heavy Rye Covers For Sustainability Rye Cover Weedy Cover
RESEARCH: RYE & CLOVER STRONG • 1. Data suggest killing cover > 10 d before plant. • Wet soils first 3 wks after plant hurts; raise bed? • Blends don’t make sense but research on-going. RYE CLOVER

Auxin Systems Compared to Today: • Weed control better, lower herbicide and hand weeding input costs (not much easier). • Crop injury (cotton) more complex. • Off-target movement more complex
Auxin Systems • Clean at planting • Two Residual PRE’s….. • Sequential POST’s…….. • Layby……
1 X Injury in a Challenging Environment (worst 10% of time?) RU + dicamba 2 X
Layby……….critical to sustainability!! For Palmer: Direx + MSMA; add Envoke for morningglory. If grasses: Roundup + Direx; add Envoke for morningglory.
The Balancing Act - Auxins More economically effective sustainable programs? Managing off-target movement

KEYS TO SUCCESS - PALMER • Palmer free at planting. • Select 2 residual PRE’s behind press wheel. • Avoid causing injury with Irrigation. A. Ideal plant depth B. Plant into moist soil C. Right rate D. Smart irrigation: once 30 - 48 hr after planting; limit it afterwards.
KEYS TO SUCCESS • Palmer free at planting. • Select 2 residual PRE’s behind press wheel. • Avoid causing injury with Irrigation. • Sequential POST applications…TIMELY • Directed application. • Hand weeding. • Crop rotation.
WHICH SYSTEM IS THE BEST? • Roundup System: • Clean at planting. • 2 residual PRE’s • POST 13 d after plant • POST 13 d later • Timely Layby • RU + Liberty System: • Clean at planting. • 2 residual PRE’s • POST 17 d after plant • POST 13-17 d later • Timely Layby Auxin System: Weed control better; injury more complex; off-target movement far more complex
