Abstract

Bentazon [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-(4) 3H-one 2, 2-dioxide] was applied postemergence to common cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr.) and velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.) at various times of the day in growth chamber and field studies and to soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in field studies. Soybeans were tolerant of bentazon regardless of time of day when treated. Results with common cocklebur and velvetleaf suggest that the time of day when bentazon is applied can be of practical importance. Poor control might occur following application in late evening, night, or early morning.
