Abstract

A compact incorporator-planter, which incorporates herbicides into moist soil simultaneously with planting of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), was constructed and evaluated over 3 yr using six herbicides. Weed control was consistent with that reported for large, cumbersome units utilizing standard planters and incorporating units from ground-driven rotary tillers and was enhanced in seasons in which rain fell during the first 3 weeks after planting. Among the dinitroaniline herbicides, dinitramine (N4,N4-diethyl-α,α,α-trifluoro-3,5-dinitrotoluene-2,4-diamine) controlled barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.], and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) most effectively. Cotton stands and yields were equivalent to those obtained using standard cotton-planting methods.
