Hooded sprayers offer the capacity to use effective, non-selective herbicides in cotton weed management programs. This can be particularly beneficial in no-till cotton. Addition of residual herbicides will extend the duration of weed control.

Herbicide	Rate/Acre Broadcast*		Remarks
	Active Ingredient	Formulation
Aim 2EC (Carfentrazone-ethyl)	0.013-0.025 lb.	0.75-1.6 ozs.	Aim is a contact herbicide for postemergence control of broadleaf weeds.  Apply Aim with a hooded sprayer alone or tank mixed with other herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds.  Applications to cotton with less than 5 to 6 nodes must be made with hooded sprayers to completely avoid contact with the cotton plant. For best performance, make applications to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches tall.  Coverage is essential for good control.  Use a crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray solution).
Gramoxone Max (u) (Paraquat)	0.31-0.62 lb.	13-26 ozs.	State label for Tennessee. Apply in cotton at least 6" tall using hooded sprayers only. Avoid crop contact. Always add nonionic surfactant (1 qt./100gals.of spray mix). Operate hoods as close to soil surface as possible. Gramoxone Max is labeled for tank-mix applications with residual herbicides (Cotoran, Caparol/Cotton-Pro, Direx/Karmex). See labels for rates and precautions.
Touchdown/others* (Glyphosate 3ae)	0.56-1.5 lbs. (a.e.)	24-64 ozs.	Apply in cotton at least 6" tall using hooded sprayers only. Avoid crop contact. Operate hoods as close to soil surface as possible.
Roundup WeatherMax* (Glyphosate 4.5ae)		16-43 ozs.

(u)- Restricted Use Herbicide
  * NOTE: Several brands of glyphosate have become available in recent years. Many of these are listed in the table Glyphosate Products. Products differ in terms of concentration, rates, addition of surfactant and registration on Roundup Ready crops. Always read the label before application.
