I have had a few questions about using Liberty in cotton weed control programs.\u00a0 Growers need to preserve this technology because it will play a key role in weed control programs in the foreseeable future. It is important to use residual herbicides in Liberty based programs and growers should try to only make two applications of Liberty per year. Lets discuss some points to consider when applying Liberty herbicide.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 Liberty needs to applied in a timely manner!! <\/em>\u00a0 Palmer amaranth should be no larger than 3 inches.\u00a0 Goosegrass should be 2 inches or less at time of application.\u00a0 Under dry conditions, Palmer amaranth and all annual grasses should be 2 inches or less.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0 Use the right droplet size!!\u00a0 <\/em>Liberty behaves much like a contact herbicide, so good spray coverage is necessary. Apply in a minimum of 15 GPA generating medium size spray droplets (250-350 microns).\u00a0\u00a0 UGA weed scientist have used flat fan nozzle tips in their Liberty Link weed control research with good success.<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0Time of Day!!\u00a0 <\/em>Research from the UGA Weed Science group has shown that time of day can have influence on Liberty.\u00a0 Liberty should not applied within 1.5 hrs of sunrise and 1 hour of sunset.\u00a0 Liberty is most effective when applied between the hours of 9 am and 6 pm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have had a few questions about using Liberty in cotton weed control programs.\u00a0 Growers need to preserve this technology because it will play a key role in weed control programs in the foreseeable future.
