Abstract

Experiments were conducted in 1982, 1983, and 1984 to determine whether herbicides can effectively control weeds in annual statice (Limonium sinuatum Mill.) without reducing the marketability of the crop. A greenhouse evaluation of chlorpropham (1-methylethyl 3-chlorophenylcarbamate), napropamide [N,N-diethyl-2-(1-naphthalenyloxy)propanamide], EPTC (S-ethyl dipropyl carbamothioate), oxadiazon {3-[2,4-dichloro-5-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl]-5-(1,1-dimethylethyi)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-(3H)-one}, and trifluralin [2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine] indicated that preemergence applications of the latter three herbicides resulted in the most effective weed control and least statice injury. Oxadiazon was the most effective for broadleaf and grass ed control in field-grown statice. Yield and quality were greatest in oxadiazon-treated plots and exceeded those of the handweeded controls. Annual statice was most sensitive to trifluralin.
