The introduction of a new
herbicide cotton, Liberty Link to Australian cotton growers this
season adds further to the choice for weed management systems.
In this week's Facts on Friday the
Cotton Seed Distributors
Extension and Development Team discuss the some of the pros and
cons of this new technology.
Management of Liberty Link Cotton:
This season sees the
release of two new varieties with the Liberty Link® trait
from Bayer CropScience. Both Sicot 80L and Sicot 43L allow
the over the top application of Liberty 200® Herbicide
(glufosinate ammonium) to control many broadleaf weeds.
Although important in its release for Australian cotton
growers it does pose a series of challenges as we all learn
to manage
different herbicide tolerant technologies together.
