Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Alachlor [2'-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide] in combination with linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorphenyl)-1 methoxy-1-methylurea (n'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-methoxy-Nmehtylures)] and metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazin-5(4H)-one 4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethy-ethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,3-triazin-5(4 H)-one] was evaluated for its control of broadleaf and annual grasses in Mitchell soybeans (Glycine max L.) under four different tillage conditions.

The experiment was conducted in the summers of 1978 and 1979. The tillage treatments evaluated were conventional tillage, double disking, single disking, and no-tillage. Alachlor at 2.2, 2.8, and 3.4 kg/ha was used alone and in combination with metribuzin at 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 kg/ha and linuron at 0.6, 0.8, and 1.2 kg/ha. All treatments were compared with a check which received no …

Evaluation Of Bas 9052 & Bas 9021 For Control Of Johnsongrass (Sorghum Halpense) In Soybeans (Glycine Max), Sheryl Rogers

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The lack of adequate weed control is one of the major problems encountered in soybean production. Johnsongrass presents one of the most serious weed control problems in the Southeastern United States. numerous herbicides are used in an effort to control johnsongrass, and research is still being conducted to find new herbicides for this purpose. Two of these herbicides are BAS 9021 [6,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo- 3[1-[2-(propenyloxy)amino]butylidene]-cyclohexane] and BAS 9052 [2-(n-ethoxybutyrimidoyl)-5-(2-ethylthiopropy1)-3- hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one].

In 1978, johnsongrass control with BAS 9021 at 1.1 and 1.7 kg/ha in sim-le early postemergence or late postemergence applications, or in each of two split applications, was evaluated using the herbicide …
