Title
Influence of Carrier Volume and Nozzle Selection on Palmer Amaranth Control

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect XR nozzles provided more spray coverage than AI nozzles.
- Association The carrier volume by application timing interaction was significant at each location for Palmer amaranth control.
- Intervention effect Applications at 5 to 10 cm tall Palmer amaranth with 94, 187 or 281 L/ha provided over 90% control in 2008 at Williston, FL.
- Intervention effect Applications to 15 to 20 cm tall weeds provided less control.
- Intervention effect Applications to smaller weeds provided sufficient control at any carrier volume tested.
- Intervention effect Carrier volume did not affect control of small weeds.
- Intervention effect On larger Palmer amaranth, control was reduced at smaller spray volumes.
- Recommendation Growers should apply lactofen to smaller Palmer amaranth plants for the most effective control in peanut.
