30 FIRST YEAR'S IMPRESSIONS OF WEED CONTROL IN TRANSGENIC CROPS M.J. VanGessel, Q. Johnson, and M. Isaacs 1 ABSTRACT weed science program at the University of Delaware had a number of trials with gluf inate-resistant corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and glyphosa e-resistant soybeans. This was the first opportunity for a new weed scientist to exami e this technology. Glufosinate- and glyphosate-resistant crops were evaluate for effectiveness of annual weed control. GI fosinate was compatible with ten different POST corn herbicides, represen ing triazines, ALS-inhibiting herbicides, and benzoics. Although, in this study, glufosina e alone was as effective as any tank-mixture. GI fosinate appears to hve a wide window of application. Application to com resulted n similar results when applied to 8 or 14 inch com. Although, as expected, higher ra es (> 0.2 Ibs ai/A) were needed for later applications to obtain highest level of control. . A rial compared the effectiveness of glufosinate and glyphosate applied at various t mings for weed control and yield loss potential. Glufosinate and glyphosate applicati ns to their respective transgenic soybean varieties, provided good to excellent control common ragweed (Ambrosia arlemisiifolia L.), jimsonweed (Datura stramon um L.), common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.), and fall panicum (Panicu dichotomiflorum Michx.) when applied from the first to fifth trifoliolate soybean stages. lufosinate- and glyphosate-resistant crops will provide a new and effective approac to weed management. This technology relies on many integrated weed manage ent principles, but as such, requires additional management on part of the growers I ssist. Prof., Ext. Assoc., and Dir. Res. and Educ.

forthe use of sethxydim-toleranthybridsinVirginiacom production. The specificobjectivesof this<br />

research were to valuate sethoxydim-basedherbicideprograms for the control of bermudagrass<br />

(Cynodon dactyl enL) in com, to evaluate similarprogramsfor annualgrass and broadleafweed<br />

control,andto uate the response of sethoxydim-toleranthybridsto eitherbroadcast or directed<br />

ExCellen~bermUdagrass control was obtained from broadcast or directed applicationsof<br />

applications of azifop-P and both broadcast and directed applications of clethodim caused<br />

significantcrop inj~, however. Combinationsof sethoxydimwithbentazon,bentazon plus atrazine,<br />
