[Dr. Bob Scott] Burndown herbicides have become a major consideration for
most Arkansas growers. This time of year, March, standing out here in this field
[video showing field], its ready for a burndown herbicide application. The
purpose for burndown herbicides is to provide removal of all the winter
vegetation, undesirable weeds that are out here at this time.
[Dr. Bob Scott] A lot of times growers will choose to add a residual
herbicide in with their burndown product to help get from this time until
planting time. And burndown herbicides have also become a lot more important in
the state as we increase our no-till production acres.
[Video showing a tractor in the field] When we talk about burndown herbicides
in Arkansas we are primarily talking about these non-selective herbicides [Slide
- Burndown Herbicides - Non-selective, residual - glyphosate], Roundup, Ignite
herbicide, and Gromoxone herbicide and again these provide a broad spectrum
control.
[Dr. Bob Scott] A lot of times a choice of herbicide depends on what crop the
grower is going to plant, it also can depend on the type of weeds that are
present in the field.
One major burndown concern that we have in Arkansas is getting control of our
glyphosate resistant horseweed [Map of the state of Arkansas with county
outlines showing the counties with glyphosate resistant weeds]. This horseweed
has evolved over the past few years to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate,
which again is a major herbicide for us in burndown.
[Picture of a plant that has burned down] University data has shown that
eight ounces of Clarity and sometimes a quart of 2-4D will provide adequate
control of this pest. [Slide - for glyphosate resistance: - 8 ounces of dicamba,
- 1 quart of 2-4D, - Watch plant-back intervals]. One thing about using dicamba
and 2-4D in a burndown is you have to watch the plant-back intervals.
[Picture of front cover of the MP-44 Recommended Chemicals for Weed and
Brush Control publication.] All of this information is available in our MP-44
Recommended Chemicals for Weed and Brush which is available on the UAEX website.

to that a lot of growers again choose to add a residual herbicide {picture
showing a wheat field plot where a residual herbicide has been used] to their
burndown program. Typically for horseweed we recommend Valor or one of the Valor
containing premixes is an excellent option for horseweed [Picture of a horseweed
in the rosette stage], this can be applied up to thirty days prior to planting
any crop and up to immediately prior to planting soybeans.
[Dr. Bob Scott] In addition to glyphosate resistant horseweed, we also have
identified at least one population of glyphosate resistant ryegrass in the
state. And we definitely suspect that there are others. [Video showing young
ryegrass] Ryegrass again is a grass-weed typically infest in the borders of the
field.
[Dr. Bob Scott] What we have observed in our control studies is that we can
overcome glyphosate resistance [Picture showing two plots side by side, one
treated with herbicide and one without] by adding twelve ounces of SelectMax or
possibly changing burndown programs and [Dr. Bob Scott] going with a Gromoxone
program and tank mixing that with either Syncore or diruon for increased
efficacy.
