Abstract

CGA-43089 [α-(cyanomethoximino)-benzacetonitrile], CGA-92194 {α-[(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl-methyl)imino] benzeneacetonitrile}, and MON-4606 [5-thiazolecarboxylic acid, benzyl ester, 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)], applied as seed treatments at 1.25 g/kg seed, prevented yield losses in grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.] in the field due to metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide], alachlor [2-chloro-2′, 6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] or acetochlor [2-chloro-N-(ethoxymethyl)-6′-ethyl-o-acetotoluidide] applied at 1.7, 2.2 and 1.7 kg/ha, respectively. CGA-92194, applied at 0.8 g/kg seed, prevented yield reduction from metolachlor applied at 4.5 kg/ha. MON-4606 was more effective in protecting grain sorghum when applied as a seed treatment than when applied in the furrow with a clay or sand granule as carrier.
