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 Cotton Development Specialist (CDS) 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.
- Download this application guide and share with customers to remind them of wind speed, spray volume and pressure, nozzles, boom height and more.
- 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®
- Share this fact sheet on Enlist One + Liberty® herbicide so farmers can dial in applications.
- 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.
