GA-277416 AND CGA-248757 FOR POSTEMERGENCE<br />
WEED CONTROL IN SOYBEANS<br />

ABSTRACT<br />
CGA-277476is a new sulfonylureaherbicideand CGA-248757is a protoporphyrinogenoxidase<br />
inhibitingherbici beingdevelopedby Ciba Crop Protection for postemergencebroadleafcontrol<br />
in soybeans(Gly. tnemax L.). CGA-277476providesbroadspectrumbroadleafweed control<br />
coupled with sho residualactivity,which allows for normalnortheasterncrop rotations without<br />
concern for ver injury. CGA-248757providesrapid bumdown ofbroadleafweeds coupled<br />
with minimalcro injuryand short residual activityto allow for maximumrotational flexibility.<br />
CGA-248757 is an excellenttank mix partner with CGA-277476and numerousother<br />
herbicidesto bro en the spectrum and increasethe speed of activityon susceptibleweed<br />
species,<br />
fieldtrials were conducted in Indiana,Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania,and<br />
ough 1996to evaluatebroadleafweed controlprovided by CGA-277476<br />
