Does applying chlorsulfuron to wheat fields affect cotton?

Growing Techniques 0 views
Chlorsulfuron is a sulfonylurea herbicide with high herbicidal activity, mainly used in wheat and flax fields to control annual monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds. In China, it is currently restricted to use only in wheat fields in the wheat-rice rotation areas of the Yangtze River basin. It is not easily decomposed in soil, and its residual effect lasts up to 6 months. Crops such as cotton, peanut, soybean and vegetables are sensitive to this herbicide. When chlorsulfuron is applied to wheat fields and sensitive crops such as cotton are planted in the following crop, phytotoxicity of varying degrees will occur. In wheat fields where chlorsulfuron has been applied, it is best not to transplant cotton; other crops with strong tolerance can be planted instead.
