Summary

​This panel discussion of weed scientists addressed observations when using the auxin-tolerant cotton technologies (XtendFlex and Enlist cotton) in 2019. When these technologies were used as part of a system that included other herbicide modes of action applied preplant, at-plant, and postemergence, season-long weed management was observed in a number of fields in the Texas High Plains. The importance of following label restrictions was stressed to minimize off-target movement.
