Fall Burndown Helps Control Pigweed
Starting With Clean Fields
Miller says an effective fall burndown, coupled with a residual herbicide application 10 to 14 days before planting in the spring, can pay dividends for cotton producers. It is often the difference between a clean start or having to deal with serious outbreaks of resistant pigweed.
Miller says he has observed good results with DuPont's FirstShot herbicide application for weed control. The herbicide is used mostly as a late winter or early spring preplant treatment in tankmixes with glyphosate or other burndown products. DuPont officials also point to how the herbicide promotes moisture and nutrient conservation in seed bed preparation.
"We've had good success with this herbicide," says Miller. "It's all about having the ability to tankmix with other products, and this product seems to give us good flexibility."
