Tennessee:

Certain resistance-fighting herbicides in short supply

Certain herbicides in Tennessee already are in short supply if not sold out, according to Larry Steckel, Extension Weed Scientist. Shortages could further complicate management of certain resistant weeds, he said.

"From phone calls this week, it looks like the last of the FirstRate in West Tennessee is exhausted," Steckel reported in Friday's University of Tennessee IPM Newsletter. "Unfortunately, the problem with the lack of FirstRate is there is not a real good option to control glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed and giant ragweed in double crop soybeans."

His recommendations:

  • "The best runner up for control of large (>4" tall) GR horseweed and giant ragweed is Synchrony. Synchrony at 0.375 ozs/A tank mixed with a high rate of glyphosate will provide some control in regular soybeans."

  • "In STS soybean varieties, one can use 1 oz/A of Synchrony. In cases where the giant ragweed are still small (< 4" tall) Flexstar at 1 pt/A tank mixed with glyphosate has provided fair control in our research."

Steckel said that there had been a "big run" on PPO herbicides like Flexstar, Ultra Blazer and Cobra in both Arkansas and Tennessee to control GR Palmer amaranth.

"It looks like the supply of these herbicides, particularly Flexstar, may also become tight," he added. "The chemical companies who manufacture these herbicides were as surprised as the rest of us on how widespread GR Palmer amaranth is this year. They just did not foresee the demand. Hopefully, this is a wakeup call for them and they will be geared up for next year when demand for these herbicides will likely be much greater."
