Metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazine-5(4H)one] applied preemergence resulted in increased phytotoxicity with increasing soil pH. In the field, fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorumMichx.) control, number of dead corn (Zea maysL.) and soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] plants, and crop injury ratings increased, and plant height and grain yield decreased as the soil pH increased. In the greenhouse, corn and soybean grown in soil showed decreased dry weights due to metribuzin as pH increased. By contrast, the pH response to metribuzin was not evident in nutrient-sand culture, indicating that, in soil, pH affected the availability of metribuzin for plant absorption.

Differences in emergence, height, and leaf number between corn (Zea maysL.), soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] and seven dicotyledonous weed species were measured until plants reached 15 cm in height or for 40 days, whichever occurred first, under several temperature regimes. Corn grew faster than the weeds at all temperatures. Initially soybean grew more rapidly than the weeds, but when they reached 15 cm in height the growth rate of weeds exceeded that of soybean. A positive and highly significant curvilinear relationship between plant height and leaf number was obtained for several temperature regimes for each species. Equations were derived for determining leaf number from plant height for each species.

The growth of two mallow family weeds, velvetleaf and prickly sida, was inhibited 50% when seedlings were treated with less than 200 g ai/ha of thidiazuron. Spurred anoda was unaffected by treatment with up to 1120 g/ha of thidiazuron. Cotton, okra, and hibiscus, all in the mallow family, also were susceptible to thidiazuron treatment. Leaf development in 2-week-old cotton seedlings was inhibited 20% by less than 35 g/ha thidiazuron as were seedling okra and hibiscus. Plants of all these susceptible species were more resistant when grown for 2 months before treatment. Seedlings of soybean displayed localized injury after treatment, but plant height, biomass, and seed production were not significantly affected 10 weeks after treatment with up to 1120 g/ha thidiazuron. Seedlings of corn appeared unaffected by treatment with up to 1120 g/ha thidiazuron.

The susceptibility of corn (Zea maysL. ‘Pioneer 3334A’) at different stages of growth to EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) plus a herbicide-protectant, R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide), was studied in the greenhouse. Corn was treated with either 25 ppm or 12.5 ppm EPTC containing R-25788 at planting and at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks thereafter. The herbicide was soil-applied and immediately incorporated by watering. Phytotoxicity and plant height were observed periodically for 56 days after herbicide treatment. Within 21 days after treatment with 25 ppm EPTC containing R-25788, injury and plant height reduction occurred in corn treated at planting, or at 2 and 4 weeks but not at 6 or 8 weeks after planting. At 56 days, however, corn treated at planting or 2 weeks after planting had outgrown all injury symptoms and was as tall as the controls (>84%). Corn treated at 4 weeks after planting, however, still remained injured and was 45% as tall as its respective control. Corn treated at 6 to 8 weeks showed no injury during the entire period of observations. The data indicates that corn is most susceptible to EPTC plus R-25788 at 4 weeks after planting. The results of this greenhouse study are discussed in relation to corn injury as observed in the field.
