Coverage, Coverage, Coverage (Prostko)

In support of Dr. Bob "Hole in My Roof" Kemerait's 6:29 am e-mail earlier today, I would like to add a few comments about spray coverage.  I don't sleep that much this time of year especially when its field corn planting time and it's too rainy/windy to plant/spray.  Three quick reminders about spray coverage that we often talk about (with some data to back them up):

1) Increased tractor speeds result in decreased spray coverage. 

2) Lower water volumes result in decreased spray coverage.

3) Larger spray droplets result in decreased coverage.

In the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that!"

Zalo Herbicide Registration (Prostko)

The registration for AMVAC's Zalo herbicide (glufosinate + quizalofop) was recently granted by the US EPA on February 13, 2024. Considering the current shortage of the over-the-top dicamba products (Engenia, Tavium, and Xtendimax) in Georgia, cotton and soybean growers will very likely be interested in any or all glufosinate formulations.
