Growing Conditions

Two yr of field research were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of BAS-9021 {2-[1-(N-allyloxyamino)butylidene]-5,5-dimethyl-4-methoxycarbonylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, Na salt}, HOE 29152 {methyl 2-[4-(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)phenoxy]propanoate}, and mefluidideN-[2,4-dimethyl-5-[[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl] amino] phenyl] acetamide as selective herbicides applied postemergence to johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers.]. All three herbicides afforded 85% or greater control of rhizome johnsongrass in one experiment in 1977, where repeat applications were made and ideal growing conditions prevailed. HOE 29152 also afforded excellent control with a single application made at the boot stage of johnsongrass. In a second experiment in 1977, when drought conditions prevailed, HOE 29152 was the only herbicide that afforded 70% or greater control of the johnsongrass. Both BAS-9021 and mefluidide afforded less than 60% control of johnsongrass in the single 1978 experiment, when evaluated at the end of the season. This study also was subject to drought conditions throughout the growing season.

Sorghum Halepense

In a 6-yr field study, johnsongrass growing in ‘Forrest’ soybeans for the entire growing season reduced yields 45% in the year with most rainfall and 69% in the year with least rainfall. Yields of soybeans grown without johnsongrass competition were 56% higher in the year with the most rainfall than in the year with least rainfall. Yields of soybeans with full-season competition were reduced 75% from those in the year with most rainfall as compared with those in the year with least rainfall. The number of weeks of johnsongrass competition required to significantly reduce soybean yields varied from 3 wk, in the year with least rainfall, to 8 wk, in the year with most rainfall. Nine applications of sethoxydim at 0.84 kg ai ha-1or haloxyfop at 0.55 kg ai ha-1each year did not reduce soybean growth or yields.

Dalapon (2,2-dichloropropionic acid), TCA ester [ethyleneglycol bis(trichloroacetate)], MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate), and glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] were evaluated for their effectiveness as spot spray treatments to johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers.] 30, 75, or 100 cm tall from rhizomes. Glyphosate was also applied as a spot spray to soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Pickett 71′] to determine its effect on stand losses and subsequent soybean yields. Glyphosate at a concentration of 6 or 12 g/L of water was the most effective treatment regardless of johnsongrass height. A single application provided excellent-to-complete seasonal control within 2 weeks after application. Repeated applications of dalapon, MSMA, and TCA ester would be needed for season-long control. Glyphosate at a concentration of 6 g/L of water applied to 0.5 m long spots of soybeans in late August reduced soybean yields 9, 17, and 28% while the stand was reduced 5,10, and 20%, respectively.

Matter Production

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate competitive effects of johnsongrass and sicklepod on growth and yield of irrigated and nonirrigated soybeans. Johnsongrass reduced soybean growth early in the growing season. Sicklepod was competitive all season, but competitiveness was greatest during the soybean reproductive stage. Soybean yields were reduced 31% by sicklepod, 14% by johnsongrass, and 36% by both weeds growing together. Nonirrigated soybeans yielded less than irrigated, but percent yield reductions were similar. Johnsongrass dry matter production and seed yield were reduced more than sicklepod by soybean interference. Soybean and sicklepod interference reduced johnsongrass seed production 73 to 95%. Johnsongrass produced 245 to 1238 seeds per plant when interfering with soybeans and sicklepod. Sicklepod seeds per plant were reduced 6 to 31% by johnsongrass interference and 47 to 75% by soybeans and soybeans plus johnsongrass.

Herbicide Drift

Field research was conducted to evaluate the response of soybean to various herbicides applied at rates to simulate drift damage. Dicamba, glyphosate, glufosinate, and the sulfonylurea herbicides CGA-152005, primisulfuron, nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron plus thifensulfuron, and CGA-152005 plus primisulfuron were applied to soybean at the two to three trifoliolate leaf stage in 1997 and 1998 atand ⅓ of the recommended use rates. The order of yield reduction after herbicide treatment was CGA-152005 > dicamba > CGA-152005 plus primisulfuron > rimsulfuron plus thifensulfuron > primisulfuron. Soybean yields were not reduced by glyphosate, glufosinate, and nicosulfuron. Applications of all herbicides at rates higher thanof the use rate caused injury symptoms within 30 d after treatment. However, soybean plants had partially or fully recovered by the end of the growing season. Therefore, early-season injury symptoms from herbicide drift are not reliable indicators for soybean yield reduction.

Rhizome Development

Space-planted johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers. ♯ SORHA] was clipped back to a height of 26 cm after flowering and, when 45 to 61 cm in height, was treated with various rates of the sodium salt of dalapon (2,2-dichloropropionic acid), MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate), or the sodium salt of asulam (methylsulfanilylcarbamate). Treatments were reapplied as needed during the growing season whenever a majority of surviving plants in a plot had initiated new foliar growth. Most plants were not killed by a single application of any herbicide, although rhizome development, as measured by the number of rhizome buds, was inhibited by the initial herbicide treatments. MSMA at 4.5 kg ai/ha was more phytotoxic to johnsongrass than other herbicide treatments or MSMA at 2.3 kg ai/ha; a single application at the higher rate reduced the original number of rhizome buds on plants by 50 to 60%, and two applications killed 86 to 93% of the plants. Asulam at 4.5 and 6.7 kg ae/ha and dalapon at 6.7 and 9.0 kg ae/ha primarily controlled plants by inhibiting growth for an extended period. After two or three applications of asulam or dalapon at 6.7 kg ae/ha, only about 40% of the plants had been killed, but the original number of rhizome buds on surviving plants had been reduced by about 80%.

Pers. # SORHA] control in reduced-tillage soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] production systems. Data obtained in 1983 and 1984 near Lexington and Princeton, KY, indicated that johnsongrass could be effectively controlled. A single discing before application of the soil-active herbicides usually had no effect on johnsongrass control. Johnsongrass control was primarily dependent on foliarly applied herbicides. Preplant-incorporated treatments did not provide adequate johnsongrass control when used alone. Johnsongrass panicle numbers recorded in September corresponded to visual evaluations of control recorded earlier in the growing season. Soybean yield with all herbicide treatments was greater than with a nontreated control and was closely associated with the degree of johnsongrass control.

Herbicide Response

Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate factors affecting johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers. # SORHA] control in soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Essex’] with three foliarly-applied herbicides. In 1980, johnsongrass height at treatment time had little effect on control due to inadequate soil moisture. In 1981, a wet year, best control was achieved on 15- or 40-cm-tall johnsongrass. BAS-9052 {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} at 0.6 kg/ha gave good to excellent control at all growth stages. Two applications of 0.3 kg/ha of BAS-9052 in both years and PP-009 butyl {2-[4-[5-(trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinyloxy)] phenoxy] propanoate} in 1981 increased johnsongrass control compared to only one treatment. Mixing BAS-9052 with other herbicides significantly reduced johnsongrass control. Greenhouse studies to determine the effect of soil water on herbicide response indicated that drier soils decreased johnsongrass regrowth with PP-009 and increased regrowth with BAS-9052.

Field experiments were conducted in 2009 and 2012 at Fayetteville, AR, to compare four herbicides across three application timings for johnsongrass control and to evaluate the effect of late-season herbicide applications on johnsongrass control, fecundity, seed viability, and progeny emergence. In the first experiment, glyphosate at 840 g ae ha−1and clethodim at 68 and 136 g ai ha−1provided 75 to 94% control of 15- to 60-cm tall johnsongrass and up to 98% stand reduction 4 wk after treatment (WAT). Glufosinate and nicosulfuron were generally effective on ≤30-cm tall johnsongrass; however, efficacy declined as johnsongrass size increased. In the second experiment, glyphosate at 840 g ha−1provided at least 89% johnsongrass control when applied at boot or after panicle emergence and up to 95% stand reduction 3 WAT. Applications of glyphosate at 420 and 840 g ha−1, clethodim at 68 and 136 g ha−1, and glufosinate at 740 g ai ha−1at the boot stage reduced viable seed production of treated plants 94 to 99%. Irrespective of rate, glyphosate and clethodim applied at boot stage reduced progeny emergence by 77 to 95% and 100-seed weight of treated plants 62 to 96% compared to the nontreated check. This research demonstrates the importance of herbicide selection, particularly for controlling johnsongrass plants larger than 30 cm. Additionally, the results demonstrate the benefits of a single application of glyphosate or clethodim at the boot stage of johnsongrass for decreasing the soil seedbank and reducing the success of johnsongrass progeny in future years.

Control Programs

Field experiments were conducted in Princeton, KY, in 1982, 1983, and 1984 to evaluate johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers. # SORHA] control programs in no-tillage, doublecropped soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Essex′]. Sequential applications of sethoxydim {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} or fluazifop {(±)-2-[4-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} at 0.2 kg ai/ha provided 36 to 94% johnsongrass control. The lower control values from these treatments were obtained in the droughty 1983 growing season while the higher and acceptable control ratings were obtained in 1982 and 1984 when rainfall was more plentiful. Preplant applications that contained glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] provided johnsongrass control greater than those containing paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bypyridinium ion). Soybean yields and soil moisture were greater with preplant applications of glyphosate than with preplant applications of paraquat or foliar applications of sethoxydim, fluazifop, or glyphosate. Greatest yields were obtained with a combination of a preplant application of glyphosate and a postemergence application of sethoxydim.

Pers. ♯ SORHA] grown from rhizomes in soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr.]. Good to excellent control, crop safety, and yield enhancement were achieved with all herbicides evaluated. Antagonism between postemergence grass and broadleaf herbicides was evaluated by applying sethoxydim, CGA-82725, RO 13-8895, and difenopenten alone to soybeans infested with johnsongrass grown from seed, and applying these herbicides as mixtures with acifluorfen {5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid}, bentazon [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide], or benazolin (4-chloro-2-oxobenzothiazolin-3-ylacetic acid). Acifluorfen was most antagonistic to the activity of postemergence grass herbicides, with difenopenten and sethoxydim the most susceptible to antagonism. Reductons in johnsongrass control were attributed to antagonism by broadleaf herbicides, which caused soybean yield reductions of up to 67%.
