Is there any post emergence weedicide to control nutsedges (Cyperus rotundus) in cotton without using any shield or perventive nozel? Any weedicide which can kill nutsedge but doesnt harm cotton crop?
Dear Ahssan
you can use Metribuzin (Sencor) @ 0.75-3 kg/ha. or diuron @ 0.5-2.5 kg/ha.
The link provided by Ashok Kumar Meena could not be opened. Have no idea about post emergenec application of metribuzin in cotton, but the dose (750 to 3000 g a.i./ha) may be checked.
The following herbicides are approved by Govt of India for application as post-emergence in cotton:
Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 67.5 g a.i./ha with a spray volume of 375-500 litre water and waiting period of 87 days from last application.
Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL (15% w/v) 375-500 g a.i./ha with a spray volume of 500 litre water and waiting period of 96 days from last application.
Paraquat dichloride 24% SL 300-500 g a.i./ha (2-3 leaf stage of weeds, inter row application) with a spray volume of 500 litre water and waiting period of 150-180 days from last application.
Pyrithiobac Sodium 10% EC 62.5-75 g a.i./ha with a spray volume of 500-600 litre water and waiting period of 95 days from last application.
Quizalofop-ethyl 5% EC 50.5 g a.i./ha with a spray volume of 500-600 litre water and waiting period of 95 days from last application.
