Tank mixing certain herbicides postemergence can also result in antagonistic response, eg. To overcome antagonism, increase the rate of the grass herbicide in tank-mixtures. Consult the label of the specified grass herbicide to be applied postemergence for tank-mixtures with herbicides for broadleaf weed control. Cultivation Cultivation is often used to supplement other methods of weed control. However, cultiviation that disturbs the developing pegs or throws soil on the plant will reduce yield and quality.
Precise cultivation using flat sweeps set to run shallow in the middle is recommended.
The use of fenders or shields to prevent soil movement onto the plants is a good practice. Rolling cultivators also can be used effectively, but gangs should be set for minimum soil shifting. Positive depth and lateral control of all cultivation equipment are recommended. The recommendations in this publication have been approved by the Mississippi Weed Science Committee.
