Desiccation kills any green crop material, eases harvest and ensures the crop is ready to cut at the first opportunity. When making the decision as when to desiccate, it is best to walk into the crop and open a number of bolls to aid the decision-making process. Repeat this across the field to get a sample of the crop. Spotlight Plus does not have the same weed spectrum as Reglone did, and therefore growers should be aware some weeds will not be controlled as well.
