SAFENING OF SULFOSATE WI1H BENTAZON IN ROUNDUP READY SOYBEANS A. Miller, A. O. Ayeni, and B. A. Majek I ABSlRACT Sulfosate or glyphosate were applied to soybeans at 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 lb ailA one month after planting, when the crop was at the two to four trifoliate leaf stage of growth. Each rate of sulfosate was also applied as a tank-mix with bentazon at 0.0313, 0.0625,0.125, or 0.251b ailA. Soybean leaves that intercepted the spray were injured by all the rates of sulfosate evaluated. The injury appeared within one to two weeks after treatmentas tinynecroticspotsor fleckson thetreatedleaves thatresultedin a speckled appearance.The injuryincreasedin severityas the sulfosaterateincreased,hut even at the highest sulfosate rate evaluated, the injury did not appearto be severe enough to influence yield. Glyphosate did not affect the soybean leaves that were sprayed at any rate applied. New soybean growth appeared chlorotic for within two weeks after treatment, when treated with either sulfosate or glyphosate at rates of 2.0 lb ailA or higher. The intensityof the chlorosisincreasedas the rateof eachherbicideincreased. The degree of chlorosis in the new growth was similar or slightly greater when glyphosate was applied, compared to when sulfosate was applied at the same rate. Recovery of the new growth was evident within threeweeks, and the chlorosis was completely gone four weeks after treatment. The addition of bentazon eliminated the speckling injury observed on the treatedleaves when sulfosate was applied at 1.0 or 2.0 Ib ailA. The injury to the treated leaves was greatly reduced, but not elintinated when higher rates of sulfosate were appliedwith bentazon. Bentazon did not reduce weed control or the chlorosis observed in the new growthafter treatment withsulfosate. I Undergraduate Student, SUNY, Cobleskill, NY, visiting Prof., and Prof., Plant Sci.

Roundup Ready® soybean. Field studies were conducted in 1998 and 1999 in Painter,<br />

VA, to evaluatethe potentialbenefitsof preemergence(PRE)metolachlor ormetolachlor<br />

plus flumetsulam applications to POST glyphosate applications. Glyphosate (1.0 lb ailA)<br />

applications were made 3, 4, 5, and 6 WAP in 1998 and 1999. Glypbosate applications<br />

followed PRE herbicide treatments or no herbicide PRE both years. In 1998, PRE<br />

herbicide treatments were 1.0 Ib ailA s-metoiachior and 1.7lb/A s-metoiachior plus 0.054<br />

lb ailA flumetsulam. In 1999, PRE treatments were 1.0 Ib/A s-metolachlor plus 0.032<br />

lblA f1umetsulam and 1.4 lblA s-metoiachior plus 0.044 IblA f1umetsulam.<br />

Compared to giyphosate alone in 1998, PRE herbicides allowed glyphosate<br />

applicationsto bemadelaterwithoutreducingsoybeanseed yields significantly.Soybean<br />

seed yields were 50 and 47 buiA with POST glyphosate applied alone 3 and 4 WAP,<br />

respectively.Delaying glyphosateapplicationsuntil 5 or 6 WAPreducedsoybeanyields<br />

significantly.Also, soybeanyieldsfromanytreatmentcontainings-metolachlorplus<br />

Soybean seed yield with s-metolachlor was 30 buiA and increased to 54, 44, and 46 buiA<br />

as a result of POST glyphosate applications made 3, 4, and 5 WAP, respectively. With<br />

soybean yield to 21 buiA. Yield increases with POST glyphosate applications 3, 4, and 5<br />
