Description: Impact of vigor, planting depth and soil conditions on cotton injury from soil-applied herbicides. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of low and high-vigor cotton seed and .25 or 1 in planting depths in the presence of cool, wet soil conditions on injury sustained from soil applied herbicides (diuron, fomesafen and reflex). Over the past two years, several studies were conducted across the state of Arkansas using a split-split plot design. Statisitical significance was established using fisher’s protected LSD at alpha equals .05 in SAS.
