Weed control crucial in cotton with recent moisture
Texas A M University extension cotton specialist Fred Elliott notes postemergence herbicides are highly effective for three inch to six inch cotton. Recommended mixtures include MSMA or DSMA with surfactant, with or without diuron, fluometuron, caparol, or prometryon, applied as directed spray and timed with small weeds. Cultivation remains vital. shallow sweep cultivation and rotary hoe provide effective weed control with no chemical residue.
