Abstract

A field trial was conducted in 1988 and 1989 to confirm the efficacy of naphthalic anhydride (NA) for providing full-season protection of corn from imazethapyr applied at various times and rates. NA applied as a 1% by weight dust to corn seed caused 6% injury 2 weeks after treatment (WAT) in 1989; however, plants recovered within 6 WAT and grain yield was not affected. Imazethapyr applied to corn untreated with NA resulted in greater than 30% injury for all treatments in both years except PRE in 1988. NA reduced phytotoxicity from all imazethapyr applications in 1989 and from PPI, early POST, and 4- to 5-leaf stage (mid-POST) applications in 1988. Despite the safening effect, corn injury was still observed 6 WAT in NA-treated corn for all imazethapyr applications in both years except early POST in 1988. Higher yields were produced from NA-treated than untreated corn with imazethapyr applied PPI in both years, PRE in 1989, early POST in both years, and mid-POST in 1988. Safened corn treated PPI and early POST yielded the same as the safened corn in the control in both years. Imazethapyr applied at the 8- to 10-leaf stage caused total yield loss regardless of NA treatment. Drought conditions may have caused the lower corn injury and yield loss from imazethapyr observed in 1988 compared to 1989.
