As a result of great teamwork with the Georgia Department of Agriculture and BASF, Georgia cotton farmers have a new Liberty label allowing shortened intervals between sequential Liberty applications which can improve weed control. Research has shown understanding the time interval between sequential post applications is one of many critical components for an effective weed management system. The figure below compares 6″ Palmer amaranth response to sequential Liberty applications as influenced by the interval between applications. Obviously, one needs to apply Liberty when the biggest pigweed in the field is 3\u201d for complete control and in this event, a follow-up application can be made when the next flush of pigweed reaches 3\u201d. With the challenging weather during 2020, spraying all weeds at 3\u201d or less may not be practical for some fields; thus, when pigweed is too large to kill with the first application then the second application timing is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO NOT MAKE MORE THAN TWO LIBERTY APPLICATIONS in a season for resistance management purposes; follow the second Liberty application 10-12 days later with a lay-by directed application including conventional chemistry such as Diuron + MSMA + Crop Oil or Roundup + Diuron (add Envoke with lay-by if morningglory or nutsedge is an issue; check carryover restrictions)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
