Abstract
Broadleaf weed control is needed to optimize cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield. Pyrithiobac controls many broadleaf weeds in cotton when applied preemergence or postemergence. Re-search was conducted to determine if cultivar selection and early-season irrigation influenced cotton response to pyrithiobac at 70 or 140 g ai ha-1 applied postemergence or 70 g ha-1 applied preemergence followed by 70 g ha-1 applied postemergence. Injury was greater when pyrithiobac was applied postemergence over-the-top at 140 g ha-1 than at 70 g ha-1, irrespective of cultivar. For most cultivars, pyrithiobac at 140 g ha-1 postemergence over-the-top was more inju-
