Effect of Glufosinate and Metolachlor Application Timing on Widestrike and Liberty Link Cotton Cultivars

Liberty Link weed control systems have gained interest over the last several years due to widespread increase of glyphosate-resistant pigweed.  Ignite herbicide can be applied over cotton cultivars that contain the either the Liberty Link or Widestrike genes.  The Widestrike gene only offers partial tolorance to ignite herbicide and injury to cotton cultivars can vary due to effects from growing conditions and environment.  This study was conducted to observe injury potential on Liberty Link and Widestrike cotton when tank-mixing Ignite and Dual Magnum herbicide.
