Abstract

Studies conducted from 1964 to 1967 on three soil types indicated that α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine (trifluralin), dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA), and 4-(methylsulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropylaniline (nitralin) applied preplant and incorporated with two tandem diskings in March or April prior to bedding, gave excellent control of a mixture of Amaranthus sp. and volunteer sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) planted in early May. Cotton was not stunted and yields were not appreciably reduced. When trifluralin was applied, soil residues the next year dictated that sorghum planting be delayed until May.
