Performance of Blizzard™ Defoliation Treatments Across the Cotton Belt






Blizzard™ Characteristics

  • Common name: fluthiacet-methyl

  • Mode of Action: inhibition of Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO or PROTOX)

  • Formulation: EC – 0.91 lb ai/gal

  • Use rates tested in cotton: 0.4 – 0.6 fl oz/A

  • Seasonal use total not to exceed 1.25 fl oz/A

  • Requires a crop oil concentrate (COC) adjuvant to maximize performance

    • Not unlike other PPO defoliants
  • Rainfast in 1 hour post application



Field Trial Objectives

  • Evaluate Blizzard™ for cotton defoliation performance compared to other PPO defoliant products in picker and stripper types of cotton across the Cotton Belt.

  • Obtain performance data for Blizzard + ethephon products commonly used such as Finish® 6 Pro, FirstPick™ and Prep®.

  • Measure performance of Blizzard in sequential applications with paraquat products Firestorm™ and Gramoxone® Inteon.

  • Confirm Blizzard use patterns and performance with thidiazuron products such as Dropp® 50W and Dropp® 4SC.

  • Evaluate performance of aerial applications.

Summary

  • Blizzard 0.91EC provided effective cotton defoliation across a number of locations and environments and was comparable to Aim, ET and Resource at rates tested.

  • Ethephon products CottonQuik, FirstPick, Finish Pro and Prep enhanced defoliation performance when tank mixed with Blizzard.

  • Blizzard treatments were equal to “standards” in Mid-South university trials.

  • Dropp followed by Blizzard and Dropp + Blizzard followed by Blizzard were effective defoliation and regrowth suppressing treatments in south Texas.

  • Blizzard + ethephon was more effective than Resource + ethephon for regrowth suppression in two south Texas trials.

  • Single applications of Blizzard + ethephon were equal to other PPO defoliants in leaf removal while showing less leaf desiccation than Aim or ET in Georgia consultant demonstrations.

  • Blizzard + ethephon followed by Blizzard and Firestorm (paraquat) were very effective treatments applied by airplane to irrigated cotton in West Texas.
