Abstract

In 1965 and 1966, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L., var. Cayuga) and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L., var. Viking) were seeded in soil treated just before planting with ethyl N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC). To determine herbicidal interaction on a field scale, 4,6-dinitro-o-Sec-butylphenol (DNBP) was applied as a postemergence treatment. No significant interaction of EPTC and DNBP was evident on legume or weedy grass stands on yield. Interaction of EPTC and DNBP on control of annual broadleaf weeds was noted 1 year but not the second. DNBP but not EPTC significantly reduced birdsfoot trefoil stands during both years and reduced alfalfa stands 1 year but not the other. EPTC controlled annual and perennial weed grasses and DNBP controlled annual broadleaf weeds successfully. The incorporation of EPTC in soil before planting alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil followed by a postemergence DNBP treatment was considered to be a practical weed control method.
