Abstract

Phytotoxicity of fluazifop-butyl {butyl 2-[4-[(5-trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl)oxy] phenoxy] propanoate}, haloxyfop-methyl {methyl 2-[4-[(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl)oxy)phenoxy] propanoate}, and sethoxydim {2-[1-ethoxyimino)-butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} increased as carrier volume was decreased from 570 to 24 L/ha. Addition of crop oil concentrate to the spray solution increased phytotoxicity, especially at carrier volumes of 190 L/ha and above. Sorghum plants were treated with the same amount of active ingredient in a single 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 16-, or 24-μl droplet. Smaller, more concentrated droplets were more phytotoxic than larger, more dilute droplets, with or without crop oil concentrate. Application site of single herbicide droplets also influenced phytotoxicity. In general, application of concentrated droplets to metabolically active leaf tissue resulted in maximum phytotoxicity.
