BASF’s Headline Registered For Cotton
8 October 2007 One of the key advantages of a foliar application of Headline in cotton is the protection it provides against diseases so cotton plants are not stressed during the peak production period, according to the company. “This improves plant health at the most critical time in the cotton plant’s growth stage which helps deliver improved yield potential,” said Scott Asher, BASF technical services manager.
Since the application timing for Headline is similar to the timing for an insecticide spray, Asher said Headline could be tank-mixed with these products to make applications more efficient. Headline may be applied by ground sprayer, aerial equipment or through sprinkler irrigation systems.
Target cotton diseases indicated on the label include foliar and boll rot diseases such as Alternaria leaf spot, anthracnose, Ascochyta blight, Cercospora blight and leaf spot, Diplodia boll rot, hard lock, Phoma blight, rust and Stemphyllium leaf spot. Seedling diseases Rhizoctonia and Pythium are also on the label with the recommendation of an in-furrow application, BASF notes.
