A 2-yr field experiment was conducted at Fayetteville and Stuttgart, AR, to predict soybean yield loss as a function of barnyardgrass density and total dry weight. Predicted soybean yield reductions were 0 to 78% for original densities of 1 to 500 barnyardgrass plants per m of row. Soybean yield reductions were linear from 0 to 150 barnyardgrass plants per m of row with an average yield reduction of 0.25% for each plant per m of row. Soybean yield was reduced 10, 25, and 50% from original barnyardgrass densities of 42, 110, and 250 plants m of row. Predictions of soybean yield reduction from barnyardgrass dry weight and original density were similar. traspecific interference of barnyardgrass occurred for all variables tested, with individual barnyardgrass plants becoming less competitive as density increased.

Agropyron Repens

Field experiments were conducted during 1981 and 1982 in Ontario, Canada, on the effects of quackgrass [Agropyron repens(L.) Beauv. # AGRRE] interference in soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] and the usefulness of infrared thermometry in predicting critical periods of weed interference. Soybean seed yield, dry weight, number of leaves, height, and number of pods were substantially reduced due to quackgrass interference. High levels of P and K fertility did not overcome the quackgrass interference. Part of the competitive effects of quackgrass was alleviated by irrigation. Infrared thermometry successfully detected the first occurrence of quackgrass-induced stress during the early soybean flowering stage, when the quackgrass was in the four-leaf gtowth stage. This coincided with the onset of the first significant soybean yield loss. No additional soybean yield loss occurred after quackgrass reached the five-leaf growth stage. There was an inverse relation between accumulated stress degree days and soybean yield reductions due to quackgrass interference. The use of the stress degree day concept may be a valuable tool in predicting soybean yield losses due to quackgrass interference.

Shattercane interference in irrigated soybean was evaluated during 1987, 1988, and 1989 at Clay Center, NE, using ‘Rox’ forage sorghum to simulate shattercane. Soybean yield reduction did not occur if shattercane was removed by 2 wk after emergence in 1987 and 6 wk after emergence in 1988 and 1989. Shattercane interference with soybean began when shattercane height exceeded soybean height. Soybean yield was reduced up to 25% before the height differential reached 30 cm, the minimum difference required for selectively applying glyphosate with a wiper applicator. Soybean nodes per stem, pods per stem, and beans per pod decreased as duration of interference increased. A direct relationship between soybean yield loss and shattercane density fit a rectangular hyperbolic function. Yield loss per shattercane plant was highest at low shattercane densities. Soybean plant height, biomass, nodes per stem, pods per stem, pods per node, and beans per pod decreased as shattercane density increased. An interference model for estimation of soybean yield and economic loss based on shattercane density was developed.

Competition Effects

Detrimental effects on growth and yield of soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Amsoy 77′] from density and duration of competition by ivyleaf morningglory [Ipomea hederacea(L.) Jacq. ♯3IPOHE] was evaluated in 1981 and 1982 near West Lafayette, IN. Ivyleaf morningglory was planted at densities of 1 plant per 90, 60, 30, and 15 cm of row in 1981 and 1 plant per 60, 30, 15, and 7.5 cm of row in 1982. Each density of ivyleaf morningglory competed for 22 to 46 days after emergence and the full season in 1981, and for 29 to 60 days after emergence and the full season in 1982. The best indicators of competition effects were leaf area index, plant dry weight, and yield of soybeans. Ivyleaf morningglory was more competitive during the reproductive stage of soybean growth. Photosynthetic irradiance and soil moisture measurements indicated that ivyleaf morningglory does not effectively compete for light or soil moisture. All densities of ivyleaf morningglory could compete with soybeans for 46 and 60 days after emergence in 1981 and 1982, respectively, without reducing soybean yield. Full-season competition from densities of 1 ivyleaf morningglory plant per 15 cm of row significantly reduced soybean yield by 36% in 1981 and 13% in 1982. The magnitude of soybean growth and yield reduction caused by a given density of ivyleaf morningglory was greater when warm, early season temperatures favored rapid weed development.

Ipomoea Purpurea

The intraspecific (competition between same species) and interspecific (competition between different species) competitiveness of tall morningglory [Ipomoea purpurea(L.) Roth] in soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] was evaluated for 3 yr at Fayetteville, Arkansas. Tall morningglory was planted at densities of one plant per 61, 30, and 15 cm of row, and competition duration ranged from 2 weeks to full-season. Soybeans were more competitive than tall morningglory for the first 6 to 8 weeks after emergence. The competitiveness of tall morningglory was dependent upon a rapid increase in photosynthetic area which occurred 4 to 6 weeks after emergence. Reductions in leaf area index (LAI) or plant dry weight and crop growth rate (CGR) of soybeans were closely correlated to percent soybean yield reduction. Tall morningglory could remain in soybeans for 12, 10, and 6 weeks without significantly reducing soybean yield at one plant per 61, 30, and 15 cm of row, respectively. Tall morningglory was three to four times more competitive during the soybean reproductive stage than during the vegetative stage.

Area Of Influence

Field-studies were conducted over two years to determine the area of influence and duration of interference of wild poinsettia in soybean. Soybean canopy width averaged across years was reduced approximately 10% beginning at 6 wk of interference for both the 0- to 10-and 10-to 20-cm distances from the weed. Soybean dry weights decreased from 14 to 38% within 20 cm of the weed for 12 through 18 wk of interference. In 1990, soybean yield within 10 cm of wild poinsettia was similar to distances of 10 to 20 and 20 to 40 cm, but was less than that for distances greater than 40 cm from the weed. Weed interference resulted in a 9.5% yield reduction in the 0- to 10-cm distance when compared with the 80-to 100-cm distance. In contrast, yield of soybean in 1991 growing within 10 cm of the weed was less than at greater distances, corresponding to an 18% yield reduction when compared with 80 to 100 cm. Differences in wild poinsettia dry weights when growing alone and when growing within the soybean row occurred after 6 and 8 wk of interference in 1990 and 1991, respectively. In 1991 when rainfall during the growing season was twice that of the previous year, canopy width and dry weight of wild poinsettia growing within the soybean row were reduced an average of 57 and 82%, respectively, compared with weeds growing alone.

Soybean Yield

Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers., ♯3SORHA] dry weight and johnsongrass culms/ha at harvest were more negatively correlated with soybean yield reductions than the number of johnsongrass plants/ha present at 4 to 6 weeks after planting. However, plant numbers can be determined in sufficient time to implement control measures to prevent yield reduction. Prediction equations for estimating soybean yield at various johnsongrass populations are Ŷ = 1776 + 424e-.023x2for 0.25-m row spacing and Ŷ = 1668 + 643e-.004x2for the 1-m row spacing, where Ŷ = estimated yield and x = the number of johnsongrass plants/10 m2. Full-season heavy johnsongrass competition reduced soybean yields from 59 to 88%. Soybeans in the 1-m row spacing were more competitive with low johnsongrass densities than in the 0.25-m row spacing. The johnsongrass-free requirement for soybeans was 4 weeks after planting and soybeans could not tolerate heavy infestations of johnsongrass for more than 5 weeks without loss in yield potential. Application of sethoxydim {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)-butyl]-5-[2-ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} at 3 or 4 weeks after planting was effective in controlling heavy infestations of johnsongrass and preventing yield reductions due to competition.

Seedbed Preparation

Delayed planting or “stale seedbed” for weed control in close-drilled (20-cm rows) soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Amsoy’] was evaluated for 3 years. The system combined final seedbed preparation 3 to 6 weeks before planting with herbicide application at planting time. The best control of six weed species and highest soybean yields were obtained bya,a,a-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine (trifluralin) application at the time of seedbed preparation followed by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea (linuron) application at planting and by linuron application at planting without the early trifluralin application. Applications of 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion (paraquat) at planting, either with or without trifluralin treatments, resulted in less weed control and lower soybean yields than comparable treatments with linuron. However, even the best treatments failed to provide the weed control necessary to prevent substantial soybean yield reduction in heavy infestations of weeds that emerge in large numbers after planting, and that resist the phytotoxic action of the herbicides.

The herbicide 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (chloramben) was applied preemergence to soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] in 1969, 1970, and 1971. Herbicide band widths were 18, 36, and 53 cm, and there was a broadcast treatment. Cultivation and rotary hoeing were also imposed on the herbicide band widths as variables. A 36-cm band of chloramben was the minimum band width used which consistently maintained soybean yield when supplemented with mechanical tillage. Broadcast treated soybeans without mechanical tillage yielded as well as handweeded soybeans in 2 of 3 years. Each 4 kg/ha of weed growth reduced soybean yield 1 kg/ha. Average weed yield reduction due to cultivation was 100, 76, and 54% in 1969, 1970, and 1971, respectively, when average weed yields were 360, 1650, and 4720 kg/ha in successive years. Rotary hoeing reduced weed growth 48% and increased soybean yield 20% in 1970 but did not significantly affect weed or soybean yields in 1969 and 1971.

A 2-yr field study was conducted at Fayetteville, AR, to determine the effect of Palmer amaranth interference on soybean growth and yield. Palmer amaranth density had little effect on soybean height, but soybean canopy width ranged from 77 cm in the weed-free check to 35 cm in plots with 10 plants m–1of row 12 wk after emergence. Soybean yield reduction was highly correlated to Palmer amaranth biomass at 8 wk after emergence and maturity, soybean biomass at 8 wk after emergence, and Palmer amaranth density. Soybean yield reduction was 17, 27, 32, 48, 64, and 68%, respectively, for Palmer amaranth densities of 033, 0.66, 1, 2, 333, and 10 plants m–1of row. Soybean yield reduction and Palmer amaranth biomass were linear to approximately 2 Palmer amaranth m–1of row, suggesting intraspecific interference between adjacent Palmer amaranth is initiated at Palmer amaranth densities between 2 and 3.33 plants m–1of row.

Competitive Disadvantage

Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeriS. Wats.) has become difficult to control in row crops due to selection for biotypes that are no longer controlled by acetolactate synthase inhibiting herbicides and/or glyphosate. Early season interference in soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] for 40 days after emergence by three glyphosate-resistant (GR) and three glyphosate-susceptible (GS) Palmer amaranth biotypes from Georgia and North Carolina was compared in the greenhouse. A field experiment over 2 years compared season-long interference of these biotypes in soybean. The six Palmer amaranth biotypes reduced soybean height similarly in the greenhouse but did not affect soybean height in the field. Reduction in soybean fresh weight and dry weight in the greenhouse; and soybean yield in the field varied by Palmer amaranth biotypes. Soybean yield was reduced 21% by Palmer amaranth at the established field density of 0.37 plant m−2. When Palmer amaranth biotypes were grouped by response to glyphosate, the GS group reduced fresh weight, dry weight, and yield of soybean more than the GR group. The results indicate a possible small competitive disadvantage associated with glyphosate resistance, but observed differences among biotypes might also be associated with characteristics within and among biotypes other than glyphosate resistance.
