Palmer response to Ignite WATER VOLUME AND NOZZLE TYPE IS CRITICAL MUST KILL IT WITH THE FIRST APPLICATION
Weed Management in Glufosinate-Tolerant Cotton • Timing is critical!! 3 to 4 inches for consistent • Palmer control. This is not a 4-inch pigweed!
Palmer amaranth must be small (3 to 4 inches) if consistently controlled by Ignite 7 days after IGN application 20 days after IGN application Whitaker

Phytogen Widestrike Cotton • Confers tolerance to Ignite • Tolerance not complete; injury will occur and yield loss can occur if you don’t know what you are doing. • According to EPA, Ignite can be applied to widestrike cotton. • However, grower is liable as neither Bayer, Dow, nor any University recommends or warrant the use of Ignite on Widestrike cotton
