ABSTRACT

Command 3 ME, in combination with other standard cotton herbicides, has provided excellent control of problem weeds in cotton with no adverse affects on cotton yield or quality. Over fifty trials were conducted in 1996 to evaluate weed control efficacy and cotton yields with Command Cotton. Command Cotton was evaluated as premix formulations of microencapsulated clomazone plus fluometuron, and as Command 3 ME tank-mixed with fluometuron, Command Cotton tank-mix. Another objective was to evaluate Commence 5 EC and Command Cotton tank-mix in foundation soil applied and total weed control systems in cotton. F6597, F6897, and F6997 (Command Cotton premix formulations) provided weed control equal to Command Cotton tank-mix and other competitive standards evaluated. Command Cotton applied PRE alone controlled pitted morningglory, cocklebur, and smooth pigweed similar to Treflan applied PPI fb Cotoran applied PRE. Seed cotton yields from Commence fb Command Cotton tank-mix were similar to those from plots treated with Treflan fb Zorial + Cotoran. When Staple was applied following Commence 5 EC, Commence 5 EC fb Command Cotton tank-mix, or Command Cotton tank-mix applied PRE alone, weed control and seed cotton yields were equal to or greater than competitive treatments plus a postemergence treatment.
