Imiflex Rates For Efficacy In Imidazolinone-Tolerant Grain Sorghum, R. S. Currie, P. W. Geier Jan 2022

Imiflex Rates For Efficacy In Imidazolinone-Tolerant Grain Sorghum, R. S. Currie, P. W. Geier

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The objective of this study was to compare ImiFlex rates and timings for efficacy and crop response in imidazolinone-tolerant grain sorghum. Volunteer corn and Johnsongrass control was generally best when ImiFlex (imazamox) was applied postemergence (POST), except when tank mixed with Huskie (bromoxynil/pyrasulfotole). Likewise, Palmer amaranth control was most consistent when ImiFlex was applied POST. Though all herbicides increased grain yields relative to the weedy controls, yields increased the most when Moccasin II Plus (metolachlor) plus Motif (mesotrione) preemergence (PRE) was followed by ImiFlex POST or Moccasin II Plus and Sharpen (saflufenacil) PRE was followed by ImiFlex plus atrazine POST.


Fall-Planted Cover Crops For Weed Suppression In Western Kansas, S. Dhanda, V. Kumar, A. K. Obour, A. Dille, J. D. Holman Jan 2022

Fall-Planted Cover Crops For Weed Suppression In Western Kansas, S. Dhanda, V. Kumar, A. K. Obour, A. Dille, J. D. Holman

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The widespread evolution of herbicide-resistant (HR) kochia and Palmer amaranth warrants the use of alternative ecological-based strategies for weed management in no-tillage (NT) dryland cropping systems in western Kansas. A field study was established in the fall of 2020 at Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center near Hays, KS, to determine the impact of fall-planted cover crop (CC) mixture on 1) kochia and Palmer amaranth suppression (density and biomass reduction), and 2) Palmer amaranth emergence dynamics in subsequent grain sorghum. A CC mixture of winter triticale, winter pea, radish, and rapeseed was planted in wheat stubble in the fall of …


Firstact For Efficacy In Accase-Tolerant Grain Sorghum, R. S. Currie, P. W. Geier Jan 2022

Firstact For Efficacy In Accase-Tolerant Grain Sorghum, R. S. Currie, P. W. Geier

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The objective of this study was to compare FirstAct with several tank mix partners for efficacy in herbicide-tolerant grain sorghum. FirstAct (quizalofop) alone or in tank mixtures controlled Johnsongrass 94% or more. However, tank mixing FirstAct with any broadleaf herbicide was generally antagonistic to Palmer amaranth control. Minor sorghum injury was 5% or less by four weeks after postemergence treatment. Sorghum yields increased with all postemergence treatments except with atrazine alone.


Herbicide Activity On Old World Bluestems, Keith Harmoney Jan 2022

Herbicide Activity On Old World Bluestems, Keith Harmoney

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Two main species of old world bluestems (OWB), yellow bluestem (Bothriochloa ischaemum) and Caucasian bluestem (Bothriochloa bladhii), have encroached on rangelands, pastures, and road right-of-ways in Kansas. Patches of these OWB have been shown to reduce species diversity and abundance at multiple trophic levels, and pose a long-term threat to native plant, insect, rodent, and grassland bird populations. These OWB species are utilized by cattle early in the growing season, directly following prescribed burns, and during droughts when other forages lack water uptake and may go dormant. However, these OWB species mature more quickly than native …


Reclaiming Old World Bluestem Pasture With Imazapyr Application And Native Grass Overseeding, Keith Harmoney Jan 2022

Reclaiming Old World Bluestem Pasture With Imazapyr Application And Native Grass Overseeding, Keith Harmoney

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Old world bluestems (OWB), mainly Caucasian bluestem (Bothriochloa bladhii) and yellow bluestem(Bothriochloa ischaemum)introduced from parts of eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, have been shown to reduce abundance and diversity of some insect and wildlife species compared to native grasses when these OWB grasses form dense stands. These OWBs have been invading native pastures in the southern Great Plains and are rapidly increasing in the amount of area occupied in Kansas. Two landowners purchased pasture property in Ellsworth County, KS, and observed that Caucasian old world bluestem had increased in the pasture significantly over the course …

Confirmation And Control Of Imazamox-Resistant Shattercane, V. Kumar, R. Liu, T. L. Lambert, R. Perumal, B. Bean Jan 2022

Confirmation And Control Of Imazamox-Resistant Shattercane, V. Kumar, R. Liu, T. L. Lambert, R. Perumal, B. Bean

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Shattercane is a summer annual grass weed species commonly found in grain sorghum producing regions, including Kansas. Recent development and commercialization of grain sorghum hybrids with tolerance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) and acetyl-CoA-carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides will allow producers to use these herbicides for in-season control of shattercane. In a recent field survey, three shattercane populations (DC8, GH4, and PL8) collected from sorghum fields in northwestern Kansas survived the field-use rate (6 fl oz/a) of postemergence (POST) applied IMIFLEX (imazamox). The main objectives of this research were to (1) confirm and characterize the level of resistance to imazamox in those …


Response Of Conventional Sorghum To Imiflex, Zest Wdg, And Firstact, R. Liu, V. Kumar, M. Marrs, T. L. Lambert Jan 2022

Response Of Conventional Sorghum To Imiflex, Zest Wdg, And Firstact, R. Liu, V. Kumar, M. Marrs, T. L. Lambert

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Grass weed control in sorghum has been a serious challenge for sorghum growers. The newly developed herbicide-tolerant (HT) sorghum technologies such as igrowth, Inzen, and Double Team sorghum will allow growers to use IMIFLEX, ZestWDG, and FirstAct respectively, for in-season weed control. However, the adoption of these HT sorghum technologies may increase the use of these labeled herbicides and increase the likelihood of herbicide drift or tank contamination to conventional sorghum. Three separate field studies were conducted at Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center (KSU-ARCH) near Hays, KS, to understand the response of conventional sorghum to various rates of IMIFLEX, …
