Spring freeze effects on weed management
The recent cold weather have prompted concerns about the effectiveness of burndown herbicide applications. Will herbicide applications made in recent days be effective? Here are some factors that could influence the outcome on your farm.
Early-season weed control in cotton
Early-season weed control is especially important in cotton because can be slow to canopy relative to other crops grown in Kansas, and therefore less competitive early in the growing season. Tillage is often used for early-season weed control; however, most Kansas cotton acreage is in conservation tillage systems, so effective herbicides are needed before planting.
