6	K-Pam Research Capable of controlling nutsedge Lack of consistency in the results Previous research: Rates Application procedures Soil moisture
7	Questions on K-Pam How much application water is needed? What is the best application rate? Is concentration important? How would it perform in combination with other products?
8	K-Pam Trials Assess the effect of K-Pam delivery water volume; Examine the influence of K-Pam concentration; Evaluate K-Pam performance in combination with other fumigants.
9	Calculating ppm for K-Pam Volume basis: 60 gl à 2200 ppm Weight basis (commercial product): 60 gl à 2800 ppm Weight basis (active ingredient): 60 gl à 1500 ppm
10	How much application water is needed? Field trials at the Gulf Coast REC. Fields heavily infested by nutsedge. K-Pam at 60 gl/A. Two drip lines per bed. Nutsedge density at 2, 10, and 15 WAT.
11	How much application water is needed?
12	How much application water is needed?
13	How much application water is needed? With 60 gl/A, water flow was not a factor. There was no difference in nutsedge control between 1400 and 2800 ppm. Further trials to test different K-Pam rates.
14	What is the best application rate?
15	What is the best application rate?

17	What is the best application rate? Water application and rates were not as important as concentrations. Further trials to test different K-Pam concentrations.
18	Is concentration important?

26	Timing is everything To control nutsedge effectively sometimes is not how much product you put in the field. But, rather when you apply the product.
27	Why combining with Pic?
28	How would K-Pam perform in combination?
29	How would K-Pam perform in combination?
30	What should we remember? K-Pam concentration is the most important factor for nutsedge control. There are several ways to obtain 5600 ppm: 60 gl/A with 0.5 A in water. Pic stimulation of nutsedge sprouting could be used to improve K-Pam efficacy.
