Abstract

We evaluated the effectiveness of aqueous sprays and granules of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron), 1,1-dimethyl-3-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)urea (fluometuron), isopropyl m-chlorocarbanilate (chlorpropham), α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine (trifluralin), and 2-chloro-2′, 6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide (alachlor) incorporated shallow for weed control in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., var. Stoneville 7A). In general, liquid formulation provided better weed control than did granular formulation. Applications of alachlor resulted in good weed control, but in a dry season the liquid spray form of the herbicide at high rates reduced the yield of cotton.
