Before the 2009 growing season began last year

Residual Herbicides Called A 'Necessity'

Before the 2009 growing season began last year, consultants in the Southeast and Mid-South were encouraging producers to diversify their weed control programs.

North Carolina crop consultant Danny Pierce said cotton producers in his area need to use a pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence herbicide to control glyphosate-resistant pigweed.

"If the herbicide application is going out behind the planter, they typically use Cotoran, Direx or Reflex," he said. "Reflex generally works best for us."
