MESOTRIONE USE IN CORN WEED CONTROL SYSTEMS J. C. Jacobi and B. A. Lackey' ABSTRACT Mesotrione, also known as ZA 1296, is a new broadleaf weed herbicide being developed for field com. Mesotrione has activity on velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medicus), common cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.), pigweeds and waterhemps (Amaranthus spp.), common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.), nightshade (Solanum spp.), common sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), smartweeds (Polygonum spp.), and several other broadleaf weeds. Weed control systems where mesotrione could be used include (a) one-shot, preemergence applications with an acetanilide (such as acetochlor, metolachlor, or dimethenamid), (b) preplant bumdown applications with non-selective herbicides, (c) postemergence tankmixes of mesotrione with nicosulfuron, glyphosate, glufosinate and other postemergence grass herbicides, and (d) a preemergence grass herbicide followed by mesotrione applied postemergence. Postemergence applications of mesotrione should include crop oil concentrate alone or with UAN fertilizer. A premix of mesotrione and acetochlor is under development. Com exhibits excellent tolerance to mesotrione applications. 'ZENECA Ag Products, Dover, DE and Macedon, NY, respectively. 56
INFLUENCE OF CROWNVETCH WITH AND WITHOUT SECONDARY COVER CROPS ON ANNUAL WEED CONTROL AT REDUCED HERBICIDE RATES IN CORN N. L. Hartwig' ABSTRACT In previousresearch,crownvetch(CoronillaYIIii) when used as a perennialliving mulch and suppressed sufficientlyto preventcompetitionwith a companion com CZaI~ L.) crop, did oot contributeanythingto annualweed control.In this experiment,oats (a-a ~ L.) and a mixture of Canadianpea and triticale(X Iriticosecale Wittmack)were drilled as 2' cover cropsat 2.5 buiA and 1.00IblA resepectivelyinto establishedcrownvetchon April 3 to see if there wasan improvementin weed control overthat providedby crownvetchalonewhen treatedwith lowerrates ofherbicidesthatareat leastsomewhatselective(orbothcrownvetchandthe2° covercrops.

Urea @ 160Ib NtA was applied broadcast at com plantingtime. Therewas an excellentstandof oats, Canadianpea and triticalein the crownvetchby late May.
