Abstract

The influence of several factors on the injury to corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings from high rates of EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) + R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide) was determined in growth chambers. This herbicide combination severely injured 6% of the corn seedlings at rates as low as 14 ppm if the herbicide was poorly incorporated into the soil. If thoroughly incorporated, severe injury did not occur unless the rate of application exceeded 56 ppm. Decreased injury resulted when seed were placed so as to insure rapid shoot emergence. Seed planted at 2 cm with its coleoptile pointed upward or horizontally (with posterior facing upward) was injured less than in other positions, Corn cultivars differ in their susceptibility to EPTC + R-25788 at 30 but not at 20 C. Of the several corn cultivars tested at 30 C, SX-98 was the least injured by EPTC + R-25788. Corn injury was progressively reduced as leaching volumes were increased and as the time from herbicide application to corn planting was increased.
