WEED CONTROL IN SWEET CORN<br />

R. J. Durgy and F. J. Himmelstein'<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Two field trialswere conductedin 1999to evaluatepostemergenceapplicationsof<br />

BAS662 (diflufenzopyr + dicamba) in combination with several labeled pre and postemergenee<br />

herbicidesas a weed controloptionin sweet com (Zeu mays saccharata L. var.Lancelot). The<br />

first trial evaluated sweet com toleranee to several rates (0.148, 0.196, 0.294, 0.391 kg aiIba) of<br />

BAS662 applied early postemergenee (EP). All treatments were preceded by preemergence<br />

applications of dimethenamid + atrazine at 2.8 kg aiIba. The four BAS662 treatments were<br />

appliedwith a non-ionicsurfactantat 0.25% v/v aloneandin combinationwith a 28%nitrogen<br />

solution. A band weeded check was included. Tolerance to BAS662 was evaluated by analysis of<br />

plot weights, average length of a random sample often ears, and tip fill of the same ten ears.<br />

Tip fill was not affected by anyherbicidetreatment.Therewere significantdifferences<br />

among treatments in plot weight (P
