  • 5. Pic Chlor 60 TIF
  • 3. Paladin Pic TIF

All common weeds Good nutsedge, watch grass and pigweed Watch nutsedge, good grass and pigweed Watch nutsedge, grass, and pigweed… ...nematodes?? *UGA 3-WAY: system of Telone II, Pic, Metam

Factors Influencing Rate/Control = Keeping Fumigant in the Bed

1.

  • 1. Bed formation/compaction
  • 2. Mulch type
  • 3. Moisture
  • 4. Soil Temp
  • 5. Soil Texture

INFLUENCE CONCENTRATION OVER TIME

Fall Fumigation

  • 1. Work rotation to treat lower infested

fields in fall????

  • 2. Higher fumigant rates needed?
  • 3. TIF mulch over LDPE?
  • 4. Herbicides……but injury more

likely with those under mulch!!

Paladin Pic Systems

Light Populations: 40 GPA TIF Moderate to Severe: 50 GPA TIF

BE CAREFUL FOR ODOR MANAGEMENT MUST USE TIF MULCH

SLIDE 29

Managing Nutsedge YEAR ROUND

1. Select the right fumigant system 2. Sandea in crop when feasible 3. Sandea row middles

  • 4. Terminate crops/weeds as soon as

crop done

SLIDE 30

ROTATE DISKING WITH ROUNDUP AND 1 QT 3WK AFTER NUTSEDGE EMERGENCE

ADD SANDEA IN WITH ROUNDUP ONCE IF NOT CARRYOVER PROBLEMS
