Hooded Sprayer From Wilmar Aimed Directly At Roundup-Resistant Weed Control

Hooded sprayers were left to rust and rot in the weeds after Roundup Ready became the dominant weed control measure in cotton and other crops in the South.

Now, though, with the shift toward more Roundup-resistant weeds, hooded sprayers have been reentering fields, and more units are being sold.

Wilmar, a long-time manufacturer of the equipment, this week introduced what it says is a new hooded model designed with the help of Southern cotton growers, who tend to be on the front line in the fight against Roundup-resistant pigweed, ryegrass, marestail and related species.
Here's a link to more information about the unit.
