Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Fomesafen reduced cotton height and dry weight with increasing rate in Cecil sandy loam and Tifton loamy sand.
- Intervention effect Fomesafen did not reduce cotton height and dry weight in Greenville sandy clay loam.
- Intervention effect Fomesafen at 1,120 g ai ha-1 reduced cotton stand only at Pulaski County, GA, by 52%.
- Intervention effect Cotton height was reduced by the two highest fomesafen rates at most locations.
- Intervention effect Visual injury increased with increasing fomesafen rates.
- Association High-rate treatments produced more cotton injury in sandier soils.
- Intervention effect Cotton yield was unaffected by herbicide treatments at any location, apart from the exceptions named.
- Intervention effect The 1,120 g ai ha-1 rate decreased cotton yield by 49% at Pulaski County, GA, relative to the nontreated check.
- Intervention effect The 2,240 g ai ha-1 rate decreased cotton yield by 72% at Pulaski County, GA.
- Intervention effect The 2,240 g ai ha-1 rate decreased cotton yield by 29% at Tift County.
- Recommendation Cotton yield should not be negatively affected by preemergence fomesafen alone within label rates.
