Abstract

Simulated rainfall less than 8 hr after postemergence application of bentazon (3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-(4)3H-one 2, 2-dioxide) reduced its activity on velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.) and common cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr.) in greenhouse studies. In field studies, simulated rainfall less than 24 hr after application reduced bentazon's activity on velvetleaf. on common cocklebur, bentazon's activity was reduced even if simulated rainfall was delayed for more than 24 hr after application. In greenhouse studies, spray adjuvants (vegetable or petroleum oil) were helpful in overcoming the detrimental effects of simulated rainfall. Greenhouse and field studies indicated that soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] could tolerate bentazon-oil adjuvant combinations.
