The Good Old Days Of
Weed Control
Larry Steckel

However, Ignite can only be used on glufosinate-tolerant cotton, which cuts down the number of acres available to this option. As a result, weed control has regressed, even with glufosinate-tolerant cotton, from a post-applied program to one that relies on pre-emergence, post-direct and layby herbicide applications.
Glyphosate effectiveness on many weeds, but particularly on Palmer pigweed, spoiled us. We are all looking for the next glyphosate to come on the scene and make weed control easy again. Unfortunately, there is nothing on the horizon that is as effective or easy to use as glyphosate. There are no new herbicides that can quickly come to the rescue.
The chemical companies cut back on research and development during the Roundup-dominant era. Research is now being ramped back up. Unfortunately, developing new herbicides does not happen overnight and, at a minimum, it takes 10 years from discovery of a new herbicide to when producers open the jug.
