2004 Cotton Production Workshop
Topics Covered Burndown Using yellow herbicide in conservation tillage Pigweed control Florida pusley control Spiderwort control Review of 2004 new herbicides
UGA Recommended Burndown Program* Feb/Early March: 0.5 to 1 pt 2,4-D for primrose 1 to 1.5 pt 2,4-D for radish 1.5+ pt 2,4-D for horseweed (resistant?) 2. Follow with non-selective herbicide alone or with residual near planting *2,4-D product is a 4 lb ai/gal
Primrose Response to 2,4-D Amine. Five Loc in GA & NC. 2003 and 2004.
Primrose Response to 2,4-D Amine. Tifton, GA 2003.
Changes for Burndown in 2005 Ignite obtained label Very good on primrose Radish MUST be in full bloom Several other “junk” weeds will escape No plant back issue Excellent morningglory control
Changes for Burndown in 2005 Valor label changed 21 d preplant with 2 oz (strip till)(1”rain) 14 d preplant with 1 oz (strip till)(1”rain) Improves control of radish and primrose Excellent residual for pusley, pigweed, and others if reaches soil and activated Must clean tank after each days use
When and how should I put my preplant residual herbicides out prior to strip till planting cotton???
Fertilizer Impregnation Experiment Prowl 3.3 EC and Prowl H2O 3.8 SC Does sprayed product penetrate residue? Does impregnated fertilizer penetrate residue? Even distribution in the field (spreader)? Activation
Fertilizer- herbicide impregnation study – wheat cover fall ‘03 Comparison of herbicide when applied: Different rates 1.0, 1.5 lb ai/ac Methods Spray fertilizer impregnation Timings 8 wks PRE spray 4 wks PRE spray, fertilizer PRE after planting spray, fertilizer

RR Flex Seed Cotton LB/A Response to Time of WeatherMax Application.* Time of initial glyphosate application * Weed control complete after initial application was begun. Waiting till 4.5 leaf was 24% loss. Tifton, GA 2004. 3714 a 2816 c 3564 ab
Bottom Line: Early Season For moderate to severe weed infestations: Activated soil-applied herbicide and glyphosate mixtures at 4 leaf cotton OR 2. Two glyphosate applications prior to 5 leaf cotton. Begin first application at cotyledon to 1 leaf followed by 4 leaf application 10 days later.
Managing Florida Pusley
Managing Florida Pusley X Effective soil applied herbicide: yellow, Cotoran, Direx
Managing Florida Pusley X Effective soil applied herbicide: yellow, Cotoran, Direx If pusley up or escape PRE, 2 applications of glyphosate prior to 5th leaf
Managing Florida Pusley X Effective soil applied herbicide: yellow, Cotoran, Direx If pusley up or escape PRE, 2 applications of glyphosate prior to 5th leaf Dual mixed with glyphosate will provide fair residual control
Managing Florida Pusley X Effective soil applied herbicide: yellow, Cotoran, Direx If pusley up or escape PRE, 2 applications of glyphosate prior to 5th leaf Dual mixed with glyphosate will provide fair residual control Apply Valor, Direx, or Caparol mixtures at layby

Potential Cotton Program at this time???? Plant early Plant aggressively growing cultivar (shade soil early) Reduce seed production after other crops!!!!!!! Reduce the alarming rate of spread!!!!!!!! 5. Cotoran PRE (if planting at or near time of emergence) 6. Glyphosate + Dual early POST (Backbone of program) 7. Direx or Valor + MSMA (add Aim if weed bigger than 3 inches) (Dual Magnum could be added with Cotoran, Caparol + MSMA, or glyphosate)

Late-season Pusley and Beggarweed Control with Roundup/Valor Mixtures.*
Roundup Ready Flex Cotton: 2006? X Higher glyphosate rates Much wider window of application Technology is superb Will we become better or worse managers?? a. Early-season competition? b. Timely in crop applications? c. Proper application procedures? d. Increase likelihood for resistance?
X 2,4-D in burndown program Yellow or Cotoran for pusley Two topical glyphosates if nothing applied at plant Mix Staple or Dual Mag with glyphosate early POST, for most fields MSMA or glyphosate included in all layby applications DO NOT APPLY glyphosate alone at layby, add residual If put Cadre in peanut do not lime soil, if possible Keep the spiderwort OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
