Washington reports a move toward complete mechanization of cotton production through integrated weed control. Meeker notes cotton labor in humid areas averages 214% hours per acre with 14 hours spent on hand weeding, and cites co op experiments using a single tractor with shovel and flame cultivators plus herbicide spray. He describes a flame burner, new rotary weeders, and wide sweeps that speed cultivation while reducing hand labor and keeping middles weed free.
