EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFLUFENZOPYR PLUS DICAMBA FOR<br />
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
