Interaction of Postemergence Grass and Broadleaf Herbicides

A.C. York and J.D. Byrd, Jr.


 
ABSTRACT

Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of tank mixing fluometuron or MSMA with sethoxydim or fluazifop on cotton tolerance and large crabgrass control. Postemergence over-the-top application of 1.7 kg/ha of fluometuron reduced cotton lint yield 21% in three of four tests. No yield reduction resulted from postemergence over-the-top application of 1.1 kg/ha of MSMA. Crop injury ratings and lint yields were similar with MSMA or fluometuron applied alone and as tank mixtures with 0.2 kg/ha of either sethoxydim or fluazifol. As compared to sethoxydim or fluazifop applied alone, tank mixtures of sethoxydim or fluazifop plus 1.1 or 2.2 kg/ha of fluometuron were antagonistic on large crabgrass. No antagonism was observed when fluometuron was applied 3 days prior to or 1 day following sethoxydim or fluazifop application. Tank mixtures of 1.1 or 2.2 kg/ha of MSMA plus sethoxydim or fluazifop were antagonistic on large crabgrass in two-thirds of the tests. Antagonism was noted with MSMA applied up to 7 days prior to application of fluazifop but not when MSMA was applied 1 day following application of fluazifop. No antagonism was noted when MSMA was applied 1 day before or after application of sethoxydim.
