Abstract

In field trials, soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] treated with trifluralin [α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine] at 0.56 and 0.84 kg/ha were protected from injury by metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio-as-triazine-5(4H)one] at 0.28 to 1.12 kg/ha. Soybean injury from metribuzin at high soil pH values was reduced by applying it in combination with trifluralin. Trifluralin also protected soybeans from injury caused by low rates of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine] greenhouse studies. The trifluralin treatment reduced root development and greatly reduced 14C-atrazine and 14C-metribuzin uptake and content within the soybean plant.
