Weed scientiest discusses data from recent weed management studies in auxin technologies.
When it comes to weed control, dicamba is good; 2,4-D is good. But they aren't standalone systems, stressed Weed Scientist Pete Dotray, Texas Tech University and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Lubbock.
"There is no one recipe," said Dotray as he addressed a virtual audience during the recent Red River Crops Conference. "It depends on the primary weed that needs to be controlled, soil type, irrigation or not. We still have good older herbicides we can use to compliment these auxinic herbicides to get season-long weed control and not put too much selection pressure on the development of herbicide resistant weeds."
