| Abstract/Contents: | "A new herbicide was introduced into Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) herbicide programs in 2007 with good success. Milestone VM® treatment recommendations were developed for ODOT by Oklahoma State University Roadside Vegetation Management Project personnel and Dow AgroSciences researchers. During the 2003-2007 development trials it was found that 4 oz. product/acre of Milestone VM® applied alone, or as a tank-mix partner with traditional winter annual weed control treatments, could increase levels of postemergence control of cool season weeds and provide preemergence control of warm season broadleaf weeds. The addition of a residual preemergence summer broadleaf weed control component to ODOT herbicide programs should reduce the need for summer postemergence applications of hormone-type herbicides. Oklahoma is divided into eight ODOT field divisions, each with individual control of their annual divisional herbicide program. In 2007 six of eight field divisions added Milestone VM® to their winter annual weed control programs treating 2,484 - 8,563 roadside acres using traditional boom-less roadside spray equipment. This acreage translates into approximately 820 - 2,862 lane miles of roadside. In 2007 ODOT treated a total of 34,532 acres of roadside with Milestone VM® statewide. Of the 80 maintenance facilities that were surveyed, 51 responded that they had used Milestone VM®. Out of the 51 Milestone VM® users, 41 reported broadleaf weed control benefits to their herbicide program when compared to previous years efforts. It should be noted that most of Oklahoma received record rainfall in 2007 which did not seem to shorten the window of weed control produced by Milestone VM®. Milestone VM® surveys indicate increased cool season weed control of musk thistle and sowthistle compared to traditional treatments of glyphosate or Campaign®. Milestone VM® surveys also indicated preemergence summer broadleaf weed control including marestail, annual ragweeds, coreopsis, and fleabane spp. Some of the surveyed shortcomings from the Milestone VM® production treatments were poor control of kochia, pigweed spp., field bindweed, and palmer amaranth control. Partial to poor control of these specific annual and perennial broadleaf weeds has been documented in Milestone VM® research trials. While not all summer annual broadleaf weed species were controlled with the addition of Milestone VM®, many were. This should reduce the need for summer postemergence applications of hormone-type herbicides that are prone to drift. Milestone VM® will add a safer broadleaf weed control option for ODOT roadside vegetation managers to select when weed control issues arise in crop production areas of Oklahoma. Many ODOT field divisions are planning on including Milestone VM® ($8.62/acre) in 2008 divisional herbicide programs as long as funding remains available." |
