Residual Herbicides Called A 'Necessity'
The Louisiana consultant noted that Envoke is another option for over-the-top herbicide applications once cotton passes the fourth true leaf.
"This herbicide is weak on teaweed, but offers superior morningglory control," he said.
Clay Despain, who consults in Poinsett County, Ark., said more and more cotton producers in his area are using residual herbicides to control two of their most troublesome weeds – horseweed and Palmer pigweed. They also tried something new last year – mixing First Shot with a dicamba and glyphosate burndown to get added control of henbit, which seems to be a host for spider mites.
"We want our fields to be as clean as possible when we plant," Despain said. "That's why we are going with a two-shot burndown program to clean up the field as early as we can, then come back in and make an application of Gramoxone and Direx or Gramoxone and Reflex pre-emerge."
