Field trials were conducted in New Jersey during 1991 and 1992 to evaluate the efficacy of nicosulfuron, primisulfuron, dicamba, and clopyralid on horsenettle control in field corn. Horsenettle biomass was reduced 74%, 68%, 64%, 61%, 48%, and 40% by primisulfuron + dicamba, primisulfuron, nicosulfuron + dicamba, dicamba, clopyralid, and nicosulfuron, respectively. No treatment was statistically more effective than dicamba. Corn yields were not influenced by the herbicide treatments. Horsenettle populations were not reduced by any treatment.

Five field experiments were conducted at two locations in Virginia during 1988–89 to evaluate DPX-V9360 and CGA-136872 for postemergence control of johnsongrass in field corn grown under no-till and conventional conditions. DPX-V9360 at rates of 35 (except in no-till plots), 52, and 69 g ai ha-1applied to 8-leaf johnsongrass was 88 to 98% effective in 1988. CGA-136872 at 25, 49, and 99 g ha-1was 80% effective at the highest rate. Applications of these herbicides to 6-leaf johnsongrass resulted in 69% or less control. DPX-V9360 at 35, 52, and 69 g ha-1and CGA-136872 at 20 and 40 g ha-1applied to johnsongrass up to 48 cm in height provided 77 to 97% control at 7 WAT3in an excellent stand of conventionally planted corn during 1989. Crop yields were more than doubled with herbicide treatments relative to yields in control plots. At a second location where crop damage caused by other factors resulted in a weak stand, DPX-V9360 provided 61 to 96% control compared to 29 to 56% control with CGA-136872.

Herbicide Treatments

Thirty-six postemergence-directed (PDIR) herbicide treatments, applied with a precision PDIR sprayer, were evaluated for wild-proso millet (PANMI) control in sweet corn field trials in Wisconsin from 1987 to 1990. The performance of butylate and cyanazine (B + C), applied to suppress PANMI early in the season and to provide a height differential between corn and PANMI, greatly influenced PANMI control with PDIR treatments. PDIR treatments controlled PANMI greater than 90% when PANMI was effectively suppressed by B + C, but poor PANMI suppression reduced PDIR herbicide efficacy. Generally, PDIR treatments of paraquat or sethoxydim most effectively controlled PANMI. Paraquat alone at 545 g ha–1or combined with simazine or sethoxydim at 57 and 114 g ha–1, and sethoxydim at 170 and 227 g ha–1plus an adjuvant controlled PANMI greater than 95%. PDIR applications of ametryn, linuron, sethoxydim at 57 to 227 g ha–1alone, sethoxydim at less than 114 g ha–1plus an adjuvant, and sethoxydim at 114 g ha–1tank mixed with either of four other herbicides controlled less than 86% of PANMI. Tank mixing a photosynthetic inhibitor or sethoxydim with paraquat did not improve PANMI control compared with paraquat alone. PANMI control with sethoxydim plus an adjuvant at 114 g ha–1was similar to 227 g ha–1. There was no difference in PANMI control with sethoxydim applied with crop oil concentrate or BCH-815. With the exception of glyphosate at 318 g ha–1and sethoxydim at 227 g ha–1plus an adjuvant, PDIR treatments did not injure sweet corn in 1987, 1988, or 1990. However, sethoxydim in 1989 at all rates severely injured corn.

Significant Injury

Three seed lots each of two varieties of field corn were compared in greenhouse and field studies. Cold test germination percentages of the seed lots were as follows: 79, 85, and 93% for ‘DK656’; 77, 84, and 91% for ‘T1100’. Tank mixes of metolachlor or metolachlor with safener CGA-154281 plus atrazine or formulated metolachlor/atrazine with and without the safener were applied preemergence. Crop stand of either variety or among seed lots within a variety was not affected by herbicide treatments. In the greenhouse, fewer corn plants were injured and growth of plants was greater with herbicides with safener than herbicides without safener. Plant heights and weights at harvest from the most vigorous seed lot of DK656 were higher than those of the other two seed lots. Herbicide treatments with the safener did not cause significant injury to corn in the field. Yields of both varieties increased with herbicide treatments in one conventional planting. No significant differences in injury or yields occurred among seed lots within varieties.

Eight field trials were conducted over a 3-yr period at Exeter (one site in 2005 and 2006) and Ridgetown (three sites in 2005, two sites in 2006 and one site in 2007), Ontario, to evaluate different postemergence glyphosate tank mixes for weed management in glyphosate-tolerant corn. Treatments included a weedy check, a single application of glyphosate, a sequential application of glyphosate and tank mixes of glyphosate plus either atrazine, dicamba/atrazine, mesotrione, s-metolachlor plus atrazine, s-metolachlor/atrazine, dicamba/diflufenzopyr, and dimethenamid plus atrazine. A single application of glyphosate, the sequential application of glyphosate and tank mixes of glyphosate plus either atrazine, dicamba/atrazine, mesotrione, s-metolachlor plus atrazine, s-metolachlor/atrazine, dicamba/diflufenzopyr, and dimethenamid plus atrazine provided 92-100% control of redroot pigweed, 87-100% control of common ragweed, 74-100% control of common lambsquarters, and 43-100% control of green foxtail. All herbicide treatments had a higher yield than the weedy check. There were no differences in corn yield among the herbicide treatments evaluated. The glyphosate alone or in tank mix combination with mesotrione or dicamba/diflufenzopyr programs had the lowest environmental impact. Glyphosate plus atrazine and dicamba/diflufenzopyr were the most profitable weed management programs in glyphosate-tolerant corn.Key words: Atrazine, dicamba, diflufenzopyr, dimethenamid, glyphosate, mesotrione, pendimethalin, rimsulfuron, s-metolachlor, Zea mays L.

Experiments were conducted to develop systems for control of American germander [Teucrium canadenseL. var.virginicum(L.) Eat.] in corn (Zea maysL. ‘Trojan TXS 105A’). Soil-incorporated, preemergence, and postemergence herbicide treatments were evaluated in greenhouse studies. Soil incorporated applications of EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) + R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide), atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine] and alachlor [2-chloro-2′,6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] effectively reduced its growth. Preemergence applications of alachlor and atrazine did not control American germander. Postemergence applications of the dimethylamine salt of 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid] the butoxyethanol ester of 2,4-D and dicamba (3,6-dichoro-o-anisic acid) gave 20 to 41% control. Atrazine + crop oil gave 76 to 84% control. Soil-incorporated treatments of atrazine or EPTC + R-25788 controlled American germander better than alchlor when the rhizomes were planted at depths of 2.5 and 10 cm in greenhouse studies. In field trials American germander was a severe competitor in corn, especially when soil moisture was limited, and had the capability of substantially reducing corn yields when not controlled. EPTC + R-25788 and atrazine applied alone or in combinations as preplant incorporated treatments increased yield significantly and controlled 85 to 99% of the American germander 72 weeks after planting. Atrazine + oil was the only effective postemergence treatment.

Six field trials were conducted over a 2-yr period (2004 and 2005) at Exeter and Ridgetown, ON, Canada, to evaluate the effect of postemergence application of rimsulfuron plus dicamba plus S-metolachlor/benoxacor, nicosulfuron/rimsulfuron plus dicamba/diflufenzopyr and nicosulfuron plus dicamba/diflufenzopyr with and without Agral 90® or Liberate® non-ionic surfactants on weed control and yield of corn. There was no difference between Agral 90® and Liberate® adjuvant in respect to control of velvetleaf, common ragweed, common lambsquarters and green foxtail. All herbicide treatments provided significantly higher yield than the untreated control. There was also no difference between Agral 90® and Liberate® in respect to corn yield when added to rimsulfuron plus dicamba plus S-metolachlor/benoxacor, nicosulfuron/rimsulfuron plus dicamba/diflufenzopyr and nicosulfuron plus dicamba/diflufenzopyr. Based on these results, Liberate® can be used as an alternative non-ionic surfactant for Agral 90® with the herbicides evaluated.Key words: Agral 90®, benoxacor, dicamba, diflufenzopyr, Liberate®, nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron, S-metolachlor, Zea mays L.

Field Corn

Texas panicum is considered to be the most troublesome weed of field corn in the Southeast. Field trials were conducted in Georgia in 2003 and 2004 to compare pendimethalin, nicosulfuron, foramsulfuron, and glyphosate for Texas panicum control in irrigated field corn and to determine which herbicide provided the greatest economic returns. Pendimethalin applied early POST (EPOST), 10 to 12 d after planting (DAP), controlled Texas panicum less than 35% late in the season and resulted in reduced corn yield and net returns in 2004. Glyphosate applied sequentially POST at 21 to 24 DAP and again late POST (LPOST) at 35 to 38 DAP controlled Texas panicum 82 to 94% late in the season compared with 43 to 80% control by nicosulfuron and foramsulfuron applied POST. Texas panicum control, corn yield, and net returns were similar with glyphosate applied POST and LPOST at 0.53 or 1.1 kg ai/ha. Glyphosate applied POST and LPOST was more effective than glyphosate POST, but net returns were greater only in 2004.

Field studies were conducted in 1987, 1988, and 1989 at Lethbridge, Alberta to determine suitable herbicides for the control of Russian thistle and kochia in field corn grown in a dryland cropping system. Soil-applied atrazine or cyanazine provided inconsistent control of these weeds under dryland conditions. Combining inter-row tillage or 2,4-D applied postemergence with soil-applied atrazine improved the consistency of weed control over years. Postemergence atrazine and dicamba plus 2,4-D controlled Russian thistle and kochia in all years. Corn yields reflected the level of weed control attained with each treatment. The suitability of the various treatments for weed control in corn grown under dryland crop production systems is discussed.
