Application of Herbicides in Cotton Through Gravity Flow Furrow Irrigation

Abstract

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the potential of applying herbicides in the irrigation water during a furrow irrigation as an alternate method of herbicide application in cotton. Further research is needed to study this method of applying herbicides. If a program could be designed for the Arizona cotton grower, it would help reduce production costs. However before this method can be recommended the environmental impact of such a treatment must be investigated to prevent jeopardizing currently labelled herbicides in cotton.
