GA-277416 AND CGA-248757 FOR POSTEMERGENCE<br />

WEED CONTROL IN SOYBEANS<br />

M. G. S bnappinger,D. B. Vitolo, T. A. Bauer, B. S. Manley,and S. W. Pruss'<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 />
