A number of broadleaf weed
herbicides were included in more
than 60 field experiments per
formed by Velsicol in 1965. The
tests were conducted to evaluate
the company’s new Marksman
Herbicide, which is guaranteed to
deliver full-season control of
velvetleaf.
When applied early. Marksman
gives season-long control of
velvetleaf, giant ragweed,
cocklebur and other
labeled broadleaves, including
triazine-resistant species, ac
cording to the Velsicol research
data. Marksman recently received
full Environmental Protection
Agency labeling for control of 55
broadleaf weeds when used at 2 to 3
1/2 pints per acre, depending, on
soil type. It should be applied at the
full labeled rate early
postemergence, before corn
growth exceeds the five-leaf stage.
Marksman is a unique new
formulation of potassium salt of
dicamba combined with atrazine.
This combination gives Marksman
distinctive characteristics not
found in existing velvetleaf her
bicides for com, according to Bill
O’Neal, Product Development
regional manager for Velsicol. It
will be available in major com
producing states for the 1986
growing season.
A
Research shows Marksman
delivers an average of over 95
percent control of velvetleaf when
measured mid-season, 7 to 15
percent better than pre-emergence
applications of Bladex, atrazine,
and Bladex plus atrazine tank
mixtures.
This does not mean that the
triazines never give adequate
control. It simply means that the

the U.S. Department of
Agriculture will discuss the
national dairy herd buy-out
program, federal price supports

1985 Farm Bill at the 1986 Cornell

consistency of control attained
with the triazines can be quite low.
Marksman averages over 95
percent control of annual
broadleaves, including giant
ragweed and coddebur. However,
Blades, atrazone and the com
bination of the two frequently fall
below 75 percent control. Weather
-too little or too much rainfall-was
the major factor contributing to
the lack of control with Bladex and
atrazine. Marksman showed
consistent control regardless of
weather conditions.
Marksman will also control
broadleaf weeds that are resistant
to Bladex and other triazine
herbicides. More than 20 weed
species, including velvetleaf, have
been identified as triazine
resistant in the United States and
Canada.
Dr. Olson says Marksman gives
control of emerged broadleaf
weeds, while providing a combined
residual activity for full-season
control of later-germinating
weeds. Marksman is formulated to
knock down weeds quickly. It
translocates throughout plant
tissue to kill the entire weed ami let
you get to the root of your
broadleaf problem with complete
corn safety, according to Dr.
Olson.
Marksman works well in all
types of tillage systems. It’s a
particularly powerful weapon in
reduced tillage and no-till systems,
where heavy populations of
velvetleaf and other broadleaf
species, including perennials, are
often more difficult to control. And
since Marksman isn’t moisture
dependent, it can help turn those
warm, dry early-spring days into a
real bonus and let you win the war
on velvetleaf while maximizing
yields.
the New York State college of
Agriculture and Life Sciences at
Cornell, “Dairy Days” is expected
to attract about 350 dairy farmer
from throughout New York State.
Hie conference will feature talks
on the impact of bovine growth
hormone on the dairy industry, as
well as other latest research ad
vances in animal sciences. The
sessions. include dairy products
and promotion; housing, health,
and environment; dairy
management techniques; and the
impact of new legislation.
Registration will be at the door
at a cost of $l5 per person. For
