Abstract

Field studies were conducted in Louisiana and Mississippi in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate PRE herbicide treatments containing isoxaflutole or a prepackaged mixture of thiencarbazone-methyl : isoxaflutole (TCM : isoxaflutole) for weed control in corn. PRE treatments included the premix of TCM : isoxaflutole alone (30 : 80 g ai ha−1) and with atrazine (1,120 g ai ha−1), isoxaflutole alone (90 g ai ha−1) and with atrazine (1,120 g ai ha−1), and the premix of atrazine plus S-metolachlor (1,820 plus 1,410 g ai ha−1). POST treatments included glufosinate (450 g ai ha−1) or glyphosate (870 g ae ha−1) applied to 30-cm corn along with a no POST treatment. All PRE treatments controlled barnyardgrass, entireleaf morningglory, rhizomatous johnsongrass, Palmer amaranth, and velvetleaf 87 to 95% 4 wk after planting (WAP) and browntop millet and hophornbeam copperleaf were controlled 86 to 95% 8 WAP. Weed control was improved 8 and 20 WAP when either POST treatment was applied. TCM : isoxaflutole plus atrazine controlled barnyardgrass, entireleaf morningglory, Palmer amaranth, and velvetleaf at least 90% 20 WAP regardless of POST treatment. TCM : isoxaflutole plus atrazine provided greater control of browntop millet (90%) than isoxaflutole alone or with atrazine and atrazine plus S-metolachlor where control was 86% 20 WAP. Pooled across POST treatments, all PRE treatments containing isoxaflutole or TCM : isoxaflutole controlled rhizomatous johnsongrass better (74 to 76%) than atrazine plus S-metolachlor (67%). Corn yield following herbicide treatments ranged from 9,280 to 11,040 kg ha−1 compared with 9,110 kg ha−1 for the nontreated. Results indicate that TCM : isoxaflutole or isoxaflutole PRE is an option for use in a corn weed management program and may prolong the use of atrazine where weed resistance may be an issue. Where rhizomatous johnsongrass is a problem, TCM : isoxaflutole or isoxaflutole PRE can provide better control than atrazine plus S-metolachlor PRE. Without PRE treatments, glufosinate or glyphosate was needed for season-long weed control.

En 2009 y 2010 se llevaron a cabo estudios de campo en Louisiana y Mississippi para evaluar tratamientos de herbicidas PRE que contenían isoxaflutole o una mezcla preenvasada de thiencarbazone-methyl:isoxaflutole (TCM:isoxaflutole), para el control de malezas en maíz. Los tratamientos PRE incluyeron la premezcla de TCM:isoxaflutole solo (30:80 g ia ha−1) y con atrazine (1120 g ia ha−1), isoxaflutole solo (90 g ia ha−1) y con atrazine (1120 g ia ha−1), y la premezcla de atrazine más S-metolachlor (1820 más 1410 g ia ha−1). Los tratamientos POST incluyeron glufosinate (450 g ia ha−1) o glifosato (870 g ea ha−1) aplicados cuando el maíz tenía 30 cm de altura junto con un testigo sin tratamiento POST. Todos los tratamientos PRE controlaron Echinochloa crus-galli, Ipomoea hederacea, Sorghum halepense, Amaranthus palmeri y Abutilon theophrasti de 87 a 95% 4 semanas después de la siembra (WAP), y Urochloa ramosa y Acalypha ostryifolia de 86 a 95% 8 WAP. El control de malezas mejoró a las 8 y 20 WAP cuando se aplicó cualquiera de los dos tratamientos POST. TCM: isoxaflutole más atrazine controló E.crus-galli, I. hederacea, A. palmeri y A. theophrasti al menos 90% 20 WAP, sin importar el tratamiento POST. TCM:isoxaflutole más atrazine proporcionó mejor control de U. ramosa (90%) que isoxaflutole por sí solo o con atrazine y que atrazine más S-metolachlor, en cuyo caso el control fue 86% 20 WAP. Promediando los tratamientos POST, todos los tratamientos PRE que contenían isoxaflutole o TCM:isoxaflutole, controlaron S. halepense mejor (74 a 76%) que atrazine más S-metolachlor (67%). El rendimiento del maíz después de los tratamientos con herbicida varió de 9280 a 11040 kg ha−1 en comparación con 9110 kg ha−1 para el testigo no tratado. Los resultados indican que la aplicación PRE de TCM:isoxaflutole o isoxaflutole es una opción para usar en un programa de manejo de malezas en maíz y podría prolongar el uso de atrazine donde la resistencia de la maleza puede ser un problema. En situaciones donde S. halepense es un problema, TCM:isoxaflutole o isoxaflutole aplicados PRE pueden proporcionar mejor control que atrazine más S-metolachlor PRE. Sin tratamientos PRE, se requirió glufosinate o glifosato para el control de malezas a lo largo del ciclo de cultivo.
