Abstract

The response of wild garlic (Allium vineale L. # ALLVI) to fall and spring applications of chlorsulfuron {2-chloro-N-[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino] carbonyl] benzenesulfonamide} was evaluated in the field in 1982 and 1983. In natural stands, application of 20 g ai/ha in the spring reduced aerial bulblet production by 99%. Applications in the fall were much less effective (20 g/ha reduced aerial bulblet production by 59%), but were still better than the standard treatment of 2,4-D applied in the spring (840 g ae/ha reduced aerial bulblet production by only 45%). In planted stands, chlorsulfuron was applied preemergence at two locations at 10 and 20 g/ha in the fall, and postemergence in early fall, late fall, early spring, and late spring. All treatments reduced aerial and underground bulb production, but spring applications were much more effective than any of the fall treatments. Application of 20 g/ha of chlorsulfuron in late spring (mid-to-late April) reduced aerial and underground bulb production by greater than 95%. At this time the old bulb reserves were exhausted, and the scape and new bulbs were at an early and rapid stage of development.
