  1. Rain in the forecast?<\/strong> \u2013 There is no doubt that the best weather for defoliating cotton is clear sunny skies. We can\u2019t always control that, but please keep in mind the rainfast timing for cotton defoliants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The volume of water matters!<\/strong> We need to be using a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre when we spray cotton. I prefer to use 20 gallons. The better coverage you can get, especially in cotton that has a dense canopy, will increase the chances of the product working better.<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Morningglory Control<\/strong> \u2013 These can be a real problem in certain fields, or in certain spots in fields. Many people\u00a0PPO products like Aim or \u00a0ET to\u00a0help with morningglories. They can be used in combination with a defoliant mixture. Another option in controlling morningglories would be to spray your regular defoliant mixture (for example: Ethephon+Dropp+Folex) and come back and spot spray a morningglory product like Aim or ET 5 to 7 days later by itself in problem areas. Even though this method requires an extra trip to the field, it often works the best because you can get better coverage on the morningglory vines. Remember to follow the label instructions for using adjuvants such as surfactant or crop oil when using these products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
