Recognizing that herbicide resistance is a growing threat to efficient cotton production, the National Cotton Council continues to fine-tune its educational effort to help its NCC producer members manage this problem. That includes a page on the NCC's website at www.cotton.org/tech/pest/weed-resistance.cfm that contains links to information that can assist producers in making informed decisions and identifying the appropriate management strategies
The NCC will update that page as needed to ensure its members have the best information available as they develop their weed management strategies -- realizing that weed management is not a "one shoe fits all" plan and that one producer may use different weed management strategies for different fields.
