Field experiments were conducted from 1993 to 1995 to evaluate control of annual weeds with glyphosate applied at rates of 560 to 2800 g ai/ha in spray volumes of 93 and 187 L/ha. Glyphosate controlled 100% of giant foxtail, fall panicum, redroot pigweed, and velvetleaf (in 1993) regardless of rate, spray volume, or application timing. Ivyleaf morningglory, velvetleaf, and common lambsquarters control was greater with glyphosate applied early POST than late POST. Ivyleaf morningglory, velvetleaf, and common lambsquarters control increased as glyphosate rate increased with both spray volumes. Velvetleaf control with glyphosate applied late POST was greater with glyphosate in 187 L/ha water compared with 93 L/ha water.
Field experiments were conducted in 11 states to evaluate broadleaf weed management programs in dicamba‐resistant soybeans which involved the use of preemergence and postemergence dicamba. Preemergence (PRE) dicamba at 0.25 lb ae/acre provided less than 60% control of smooth pigweed, giant ragweed, velvetleaf, palmer amaranth, waterhemp, and morningglory spp., but 97% control of common lambsquarters and horseweed at 3 weeks after treatment (WAT). Preemergence flumioxazin plus chlorimuron or sulfentrazone plus cloransulam provided 66 to 100% control of these weeds. Use of dicamba postemergence (POST) improved uniformity of control of velvetleaf, smooth pigweed, morningglory, and glyphosate‐susceptible waterhemp. However, combining dicamba at 0.25 lb/acre with glyphosate resulted in 30% to 65% greater control of glyphosate‐resistant palmer amaranth, glyphosate‐resistant common waterhemp, glyphosate‐resistant horseweed, and glyphosate‐resistant giant ragweed compared to sequentially applied glyphosate.
Field experiments were conducted in 1999 and 2000 to determine the influence of mesotrione postemergence application rate, application timing, and addition of atrazine on corn injury, weed control, and corn grain yield. Corn injury in the form of leaf bleaching ranged from 0 to 15% at 7 d after treatment (DAT). In general, most of the bleaching injury rapidly dissipated with slight (≤ 8%) to no corn injury observed at 28 DAT. Control of common cocklebur with mesotrione at 14 DAT ranged from 79 to 98% for all treatments over both years. Applying mesotrione at 140 g/ha, at the early postemergence (EPOST) timing, or in combination with atrazine provided the greatest control of common cocklebur at 14 DAT. Application rate of mesotrione was the only factor that was significant in both years for control of common cocklebur later in the season at 56 DAT. Control of ivyleaf morningglory with mesostrione at 14 DAT ranged from 60 to 90% for all treatments in both years. Control of ivyleaf morningglory at 14 DAT was enhanced by the addition of atrazine to mesotrione. Control of ivyleaf morningglory at 56 DAT was greater with mid-postemergence and late postemergence than with EPOST applications, and was generally enhanced by the addition of atrazine. Yellow nutsedge control with mesotrione was inconsistent, ranging from 40 to 87% at 14 DAT for all treatments over both years. The addition of atrazine to mesotrione increased yellow nutsedge control from 47 to 87% at 14 DAT in 2000. Increasing the rate of mesotrione from 70 to 140 g/ha, as well as the addition of atrazine, improved control of yellow nutsedge at 56 DAT. Corn grain yield was not affected by corn injury or weed control as there were no significant differences in grain yield between herbicide-treated plots and handweeded plots.
Diversifying herbicides reduces weed population densities and lowers the risk of weed population shifts and the associated potential for the evolution of glyphosate-resistant weeds in continuous GR crops. Altered weed management practices (e.g. herbicides or tillage) enabled by rotating crops, whether GR or non-GR, improves weed management and thus minimizes the effectiveness of only using chemical tactics to mitigate weed population shifts.
Field studies were conducted during the 2000 to 2001 growing seasons to evaluate winter annual weed control and crop tolerance with fall-applied herbicides in corn at Belleville, IL. Atrazine, simazine, and rimsulfuron plus thifensulfuron applied in the fall controlled mouseear chickweed, henbit, and Carolina foxtail 93% or greater at planting the following spring. Flumetsulam controlled mouseear chickweed and henbit 98 and 93%, respectively, at planting. Metribuzin controlled mouseear chickweed and henbit 100 and 97%, respectively. CGA-152005 controlled mouseear chickweed, henbit, and wild garlic 93 to 100%. CGA-152005 provided the greatest control of wild garlic, with control ranging from 94 to 100% at planting. CGA-152005 plus simazine controlled 99 to 100% of all winter annual weeds evaluated. Reducing winter annual weed vegetation did not increase soil temperatures at 5-cm depth in May. CGA-152005 caused discoloration and height reduction of corn. CGA-152005 at the highest rate (60 g ai/ha) reduced corn plant height by 7% and grain yield by 8%.
