Fall Burndown Helps Control Pigweed

Fall Burndown Helps Control Pigweed
     

Having an effective fall burndown herbicide has always been important for cotton producers. For 2010, it will be even more crucial.

First, after record-breaking rainfall in many parts of the Belt in September and October, the potential for outbreaks of numerous weed species has increased dramatically. Specifically, producers are bracing for the spread of more resistant pigweed.

Second, the additional moisture may cause nitrification and leaching of important soil nutrients.
