112 E FECTS OF REPEATEDLATE-WINTERHERBICIDE APPLICATIONS ON SEMI-DORMANTALFALFA H. Menbere and R. L. Ritter* ABSTRACT Th s study was initiated on a two-year-old stand of 'Legacy' alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) located at the University of Marylan Hayden Farm in Beltsville, MD. Herbicide applications were ma e on March 22, 1995 and March 27, 1996 when the alfalfa had app oximately 2 to 4 inches of growth. Treatments included imazeth pyr (Pursuit) at 0.063 and 0.094 lb ai/Ai paraquat (Gramox ne Extra) at 0.23, 0.313, and 0.469 lb ai/Ai metribuzin (Sencor Lexone) at 0.375 lb ai/Ai terbacil (Sinbar) at 0.375 lb ai/Ai b omoxynil (Buctril) at 0.375 lb ai/Ai and 2,4-DB (Butyrac) at 1.5 lb ai/A. These same treatments were applied to the same plots th years. Visual crop tolerance (phytotoxicity) ratings were ma e in April. Four cuttings were made each year to check for pot ntial yield effects from the herbicide applications. 1995, crop tolerance ratings indicated that the highest f foliar injury occurred from all three rates of t, ranging from 23 (low rate) to 35% (high rate) on April ignificant amount of foliar injury was also observed from metrib zin and terbacil which averaged 18% and 13%, respectively, on Apr'l 5. All of the other treatments averaged less than 10% injury on the April 5 rating. Visual ratings made on April 20 found 11 rates of paraquat and metribuzin still causing a signif'cant amount of crop injury. similar trends occurred in 1996, hereby the highest levels of foliar injury were obtained from a 1 three rates of paraquat, ranging from 32 to 40% on April 11. F liar injury was also observed from metribuzin and terbacil (13 an 15%, respectively). Ratings made on April 26 showed contin ed injury to the alfalfa from these five treatments. All other reatments averaged ratings of 10% or less on both dates. I from a the si no yie August paraqu lowest showed metrib yield 1995, yield data obtained May 6 indicated lower weights falfa treated with the two highest rates of paraquat and gle rate of metribuzin. With the June and July harvests, d differences were observed between treatments. Yet, the harvest found the plots treated with the high rate of t and the single rate of metribuzin were yielding the among all treatments. In 1996, first cutting yield data a decrease in yield where the high rate of gramoxone or zin were applied. Subsequent cuttings showed a decline in here terbacil had been used. T ese data indicate that repeated late-winter herbicide applic tions on semi-dormant alfalfa may not result in a loss in alfalf yield over time. *Agric Res. Tech. and Assoc. Prof., Agric. Exp.
