Abstract

Standard and reduced rates of pyrithiobac, prometryn, and diuron applied preemergence (PRE) alone and in combination and followed by pyrithiobac POST were evaluated for red morningglory and devil’s-claw control in non-transgenic cotton. Preemergence applications of prometryn or diuron controlled red morningglory no more than 27% and devil’s-claw no more than 47%.  Preemergence combinations of prometryn or diuron plus pyrithiobac controlled red morningglory and devil’s-claw as much as 75%.  Prometryn or diuron plus pyrithiobac followed by pyrithiobac postemergence (POST) controlled red morningglory 88 to 91% and devil’s-claw 81 to 100%.  Red morningglory control was similar with reduced rates (0.8 lb ai/A) of prometryn or diuron plus pyrithiobac PRE followed by a reduced rate (0.047 lb ai/A) of pyrithiobac POST.  Cotton yields were greatest when PRE combinations were followed by pyrithiobac POST.
