Literature Review – Primrose Control
Reynolds, Crawford, Jordan. JCS, 2000. 2,4-D (0.75 lb/A) was the most effective tank mix partner with glyphosate or paraquat
Poston, Blaine, Griffin. SWSS, 2003.Control averaged 95% when 2,4-D (0.75 lb/A) was added to glyphosate
Culpepper and York. SWSS, 2002.Most effective tank mix partner with glyphosate or paraquat was 2,4-D (0.5 lb/A)
2,4-D Plant Back Intervals
Barrage HF and Salvo – 30 day prior to plant
Many other 2,4-D’s – 3 months or until disappeared
Objectives
How much 2,4-D alone is needed to control primrose?
How much 2,4-D do we need to add with a non-selective herbicide option to control primrose?

Conclusions – 2,4-D Alone
1) At 30 DAT, only 12 and 16 oz/A of 2,4-D provided greater than 90% primrose control.
2) By 45 DAT, all rates of 2,4-D provided greater than 90% primrose control.
3) By 56 DAT, primrose control was nearly complete regardless of rate.
4) Primrose size did not appear to matter
5) What rate?? How long can you wait!!!
Conclusions – 2,4-D Mixtures
1) At 15 DAT: Roundup (32%), Roundup + Valor (87%), Gramoxone + Caparol (90%)
2) At 15 DAT: mixing 4 oz/A 2,4-D with Roundup improved control 25%.
3) At 45 DAT: Roundup (71%), Roundup + Valor (81%), Gramoxone + Caparol (81%).
4) At 45 DAT: mixing 4 oz/A of 2,4-D improved control of non-selective treatments by 18 to 28%.
Future Research
1) Results must be confirmed!!
2) Plant back interval to cotton??
