Abstract

Chlorpropham (isopropyl m-chlorocarbanilate) at 6.7 kg ai/ha controlled a mixture of field dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck. ♯3 CVCCA) and largeseed dodder (Cuscuta indecora Choisy ♯ CVCIN) for 3.0 and 4.3 weeks in two greenhouse experiments. The insecticide carbaryl (1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate) at 0.8 kg ai/ha applied with chlorpropham extended control by 0.7 and 1.8 weeks, and PCMC (p-chlorphenyl N-methylcarbamate) at 0.8 kg ai/ha extended it by 2.7 and 2.8 weeks. Both additives also improved dodder control by chlorpropham in the field, with carbaryl having less effect than PCMC.
