Weed Management in Cotton with "Herbicide Application Decision Support System (HADSS)" Software

G. H. Scott, J. W. Wilcut, G. G. Wikerson and J. D. Hinton


 
ABSTRACT

The Herbicide Application Decision Support System (HADSS) is a computer program that aids weed management in corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybeans. Inputs required by HADSS include weed counts by species, heights of weeds and cotton, soil moisture status, anticipated yield potential of cotton in the particular field, selling price of cotton, and the cotton variety. HADSS then calculates the expected yield loss based on weed competition and interference research data and provides the user a list of herbicide treatment choices based on the best combination of cost and weed control performances. The objectives of this research were to evaluate weed control, cotton yield, and net returns to land and management systems with traditional management systems.
