Performance of Reflex (Fomesafen) in Missouri Cotton

Andy Kendig, Anthony Ohmes, Robert Barham and Paula Ezell


 
ABSTRACT

Reflex was considered for potential use in cotton during its early development. However, in recent years Zeneca has expressed new interest in developing a cotton registration, and additional cotton research has been conducted since 1997. Reflex was tested in several typical small-plot weed science trials on a typical sandy loam cotton soil (Tiptonville fine sandy loam, 56% sand, 36% silt and 8% clay) and on a "watermelon type" sandy soil (Broseley sandy loam 72% sand, 10% silt and 8% clay). Soil applications have included pre plant incorporated (PPI) and preemergence surface (PRE) treatments at rates including 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5 lb ai/A. Control of ivy, entireleaf and pitted morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea and Ipomoea lacunosa) from projected use rates (0.25 to 0.375 lb ai/A) has ranged from 33 to 85% (mean of 49%) from PPI applications and 75 to 90% (mean of 82%) from PRE applications. Common cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium) control from projected use rates has ranged from 20 to 29% (mean of 29%) PPI and from 75 to 94% (mean of 85%) PRE. Control of Palmer amaranth (Amarantus palmeri) and Smooth pigweed (Amaranthus hybridus) has generally been 90% or greater. Specifically, projected use rates provided 88 to 100% (mean of 94%) pigweed control PPI and 98 to 100% (mean of 100%) control PRE.
