Extract

Improved methods of weed control through use of herbicides offer important means of reducing production costs and labor requirements in irrigated cotton. The use of pre-emergence herbicides has proved to be an effective tool for annual-weed control in cotton in the humid southeastern cotton region of the United States. Research in Arizona has shown that certain herbicides applied at layby (immediately after the last cultivation) are effective for the control of late-season annual weeds in cotton.
