Abstract

Several field studies were conducted during 1981 and 1982 to determine whether early preplant (EPP) applications of residual herbicides would prevent the establishment of vegetation before planting no-till soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Williams’]. Early preplant applications of either cyanazine {2-[[4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-s-triazin-2-yl] amino]-2-methylpropionitrile} or cyanazine plus oryzalin (3,5-dinitro-N4,N4-dipropylsulfanilamide) were applied in the fall and 3, 2, and 1 month(s) before planting no-till soybeans. In all studies, the treatments prevented vegetation from becoming established before planting, and season-long weed control was achieved with several different treatments. Early preplant cyanazine plus oryzalin provided greater than 90% control for the entire season where grass densities were low. Where grass densities were high (greater than 90% ground cover), EPP cyanazine plus a preemergence application of metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide] plus metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazin-5(4H)-one] or a postemergence application of sethoxydim {2-[1-(ethoxyimino) butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} controlled 90% of the weeds, which was equal to or better than the standard preemergence treatments used (80 to 98% weed control).
