55 ISOXAFL OLE COMBINATIONSWITH PREEMERGENCEHERBICIDES FOR ANNUALWEEDCONTROLIN FIELD CORN Frank J. Himmelstein, Robert J. Durgy 1 ABSTRACT Isoxaf utole (Balance) has been shown to be an effective weed contro option in Connecticut field corn (Zea mays L.) trials. Two 1996 field trials conducted in Bolton and Lebanon, CT evaluated s ven preemergence herbicides applied alone and in combination with isoxaflutole. The studies were split plot designs wit three replications. The main plots were isoxaflutole applied at .75 and 1.5 oz ai/A and the preemergence herbicide (PRE)treatm nts applied alone. The sUb-plot treatments and applied rat s were: thiafluamide + metribuzin [(Axiom) 0.32 and 0.64 lb ai/ ], metolachlor [(Dual II) 1 and 2 lb ai/A], dimethenami [(Frontier) 0.59 and 1.17 lb ai/A], acetochlor [(Harness) .88 and 1.75 lb ai/A], alachlor [(Lasso MT) 1 and 2 lb ai/A], a etochlor + safener [(Surpass) 0.9 and 1.8 lb ai/A], and pendime halin [(Prowl) 0.75 and 1.5 lb ai/A]. Herbicides were applied wit a C02 backpack sprayer delivering 20 gpa at 32 psi. Weed contro was assessed by visual ratings, and weed biomass samples tak n from a 2.25 ft 2 quadrat from the center of each plot. Weed pecies included common lambsquarters [Chenopodium album L.], edroot pigweed CAmaranthus retroflexus L.), common ragweed ( rosia artemisiifolia L.], velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medik.) and giant foxtail [Setaria faberi Herrm.]. Common ragw ed was the dominant weed at the Bolton site. Excellent c mmon ragweed control was obtained with the isoxaflutol treatment combinations as indicated by the weed ratings and weed biomass samples taken 53 and 90 OAT, respectivel • Average common ragweed dry matter yields were reduced 99% with the isoxaflutole combinations, and 5% for the PRE treatme ts compared to the check. Giant foxtail and redroot pigweed wer the dominant weeds at the Lebanon site, however, velvetleaf, common lambsquarters, and common ragweed proliferated where these weeds were controlled. Weed ratings taken 36 OAT indicated t e isoxaflutole treatment combinations resulted in greater co rol (>90%) of all five weed species compared to the PRE treatme ts alone. Average control of giant foxtail, velvetleaf, common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed and common ragweed wi the PRE treatments alone was 85%, 24%, 35%, 73% and 12% respectively. Weed biomass samples taken 79 OAT indicated there were 0 significant differences in the average giant foxtail an redroot pigweed biomass between the isoxaflutole treatment mbinations and the PRE treatments alone. The average velvetleaf, common lambsquarters, and common ragweed biomass was significan ly greater for the PRE treatments alone compared to the isoxafl tole treatment combinations. Isoxaflutole shows great promise fo broadspectrum weed control alone and in combination with reduc rates of other preemergence herbicides. Extension ducator-Integrated Crop Management, and Res.
