MANAGING FLEABANE IN THE COTTON SYSTEM
Date Issued:2014-08-05
Abstract
Fleabane has become increasingly problematic in the farming system due to its prolific seeding rate, ability to emerge in different seasons and tolerance to glyphosate. It is a major weed of rotations crops, fallows, channels, roads and even cotton. Diuron has become the herbicide of choice for controlling fleabane in the cotton system, but it is only a matter of time before resistance to diuron develops. A long term, whole farm integrated approach is needed to manage fleabane, effectively controlling it in all parts of the farming system with a range of tactics, not just relying on one herbicide
