  3. Glyphosate Resistance Around the World (15 species) rigid ryegrass (1996)** goosegrass (1997) horseweed (2000)** Italian ryegrass (2001)** hairy fleabane (2003)** buckhorn plantain (2003) common ragweed (2004)** giant ragweed (2004)** Palmer amaranth (2005)** common waterhemp (2005)** johnsongrass (2005)** wild poinsettia (2005) sourgrass (2006) junglerice (2007) liverseedgrass (2008) ** 9/15 (60%) can be found in the US

  5. GA Confirmed ALS-Resistant Palmer Sites
  6. 2008 Triazine Resistance Survey Macon County 4/20 sites resistant to 10X rate (4,5,15,20) 6/20 sites took 5 qts/A to kill (3,6,8,14,17,19)
  7. A Closer Look (4, 5, 15, 20)
  8. Site 5 – Atrazine Resistance Survey 0 0.1 1 5 10 0 Atrazine (qts/A)
  9. Cotton Herbicides/Corn Rotations Cadre: 9 months Strongarm: 18 months Staple: 9-10 months Envoke: 210 days Reflex: 10 months Reflex Staple
  10. Reflex Carryover in 2008 Early County
  11. Burndown Control Options glyphosate paraquat Ignite (glufosinate) tank-mixes with? 2,4-D atrazine others Aim, ET, Harmony Extra (14 DBP), Express (14 DBP), Clarity, Valor (14 DBP) Need a clean seed-bed at planting
  12. Ryegrass Control - Burndown Hard to kill with 1 shot Ryegrass is most susceptible to glyphosate when applied between boot and early flower stage of growth. Option # 1 Glyphosate @ 1.5 lb ai/A + atrazine 4L @ 3 pts/A Option #2 paraquat @ 0.47 lb ai/A – 2 WBP fb paraquat @ 0.47 lb ai/A + atrazine 4L @ 3 pts/A – at planting RR corn systems Accent???? 1.50 lb ai/A = 35 oz/A of 5.5 lb/gal or 48 oz/A of 4 lb/gal 0.47 lb ai/A = 30 oz/A of 2L or 20 oz/A of 3L
  13. Annual Ryegrass Control with Roundup WM Source: Lins et al. 2007. Weed Technology 21:602-605
  14. Conventional or RR or LL Systems?
  15. Conventional Systems Atrazine still THE major player in any system Prowl in cheap but ……. One of my favorites is Accent + Atrazine If Texas panicum is main problem many Pre-mixes
  16. Accent + Atrazine – 2008 (52 DAT) CN-12-08 Ponder Farm June 13, 2008 NTC Accent 75WG @ 0.67 oz/A Atrazine 4L @ 1.5 qt/A Peptoil @ 1% v/v 96 Bu/A 148 Bu/A
  17. Why do you not want to spend the money on an Accent + Atrazine treatment in field corn? Data from 24 comparisons from field trials conducted in Georgia from 2001-2008. At $3.00 to $4.00/bu, it only takes a 5-7 Bu/A increase to pay for the treatment!!! +56 Bu/A
  18. Corn Yield Response to Various POST Herbicide Treatments Average of 2 tests conducted in 2003 and 2004 (Tifton, Attapulgus) Where Texas panicum is the main weed problem Atrazine PRE @ 1.5 qt/A e d ab a b a a a
  19. Conventional Weed Management Systems Many Pre-Mixes Available Bicep II Magnum (atrazine + Dual II Magnum) Lariat/Bullet (atrazine + Lasso) Lexar (atrazine + Dual Magnum + Callisto) many others preemergence a good choice if many different weed species are present need 0.5” of rainfall or irrigation within 7-10 days for activation
  20. NTC Bicep II Magnum 5.5L @ 2.1 qt/A PRE Macon County – GR Palmer Amaranth June 24, 2008 – 60 DAP CN-01-08

  22. U.S. Corn Acres Planted to Herbicide Resistant Hybrids Source: NASS Includes stacked
  23. Should you use the RR corn system? advantages easy Broad spectrum Reduced drift concerns No soil insecticide issues disadvantages No residual over-reliance on a single product Herbicide resistance concerns Volunteer in other RR crops Glyphosate price increases
  24. How would I use RR corn systems? Must use atrazine or another residual 2 applications of glyphosate 1st application: 21-28 DAP + atrazine (1.5-2.0 qt/A) 2nd application: 35-40 DAP Sequence (Dual Magnum + Touchdown) Expert (Dual Magnum + Atrazine + Touchdown) Halex GT (Callisto + Dual Magnum + Touchdown) Do not forget to include extra seed costs/A in your budgets! Irrigated @ 30,000/A = $11.00/A Dryland @ 18,000/A = $7.00/A

  29. Texas Panicum Control OR About 30% of the time, Accent has provided better control of Texas panicum But, yields have not been different.
  30. What about Liberty-Link Corn? Glufosinate Liberty 1.67SL (30 oz/A) Ignite 2.34SL (22 oz/A) No tech fee up to 24” tall corn or V7 Tank-mix with atrazine Liberty ATZ good on morningglory, Texas millet, sicklepod Hybrid performance Garst 8353CB/LL, Hytest 7729Hx/LL, Pioneer 33M57
