WEED MANAGEMENT IN COTTON

Something went wrong. Please try again later...

PhytoGen agronomists offer general program guidelines as a starting point to help growers understand options depending on adjacent crops and pest pressure.

No two fields are the same, so it’s important to evaluate weed pressure across fields to determine the best path forward to manage tough-to-control weeds. Below are general recommendations from the PhytoGen agronomy team, as well as resources to help your weed control management this season.

  • Get back to the basics with Enlist® Growers will customize their programs depending on weed pressure and adjacent crops, but the fundamental basics with Enlist herbicides stay the same.
  • Leverage the power of Enlist One® herbicide and glufosinate. This powerful tank-mix option enables growers to employ a zero-tolerance policy on weeds in PhytoGen® W3FE varieties. It’s also a knockout punch for weeds in Enlist E3®
  • Know the surroundings. Many popular Cotton Belt crops, such as peanuts, soybeans, wheat and sorghum, are considered compatible with Enlist herbicides. Remember which crops are compatible and susceptible (see below) as programs are developed.
  • Tailor weed control programs with surroundings in mind. Once growers determine adjacent crops, they can develop a solid postemergence herbicide plan. Reference the early postemergence and midpostemergence plans below to guide your considerations.
  • Raise a flag. Using technology flags in the field is a simple way to keep the right chemistries on the right acres.

PhytoGen agronomists offer general program guidelines as a starting point to help growers understand options depending on adjacent crops and pest pressure. Use this to begin conversations with growers and then consult the cotton development specialist in your region for location-specific recommendations.

Many customers planting PhytoGen® W3FE varieties this season will use the Enlist® weed control system for the first time. Our team Is here to help you succeed.
