Extract

The cotton-producing industry today faces a real challenge in its attempt to control weeds in cotton. It is a problem with many facets. Differences in weed species, topography, soil type, scale of operation, rainfall, and many other factors make it difficult to develop single practices that work satisfactorily across large areas of the Cotton Belt.
