Abstract

Application time did not greatly influence control of velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medik. # ABUTH) or common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L. # CHEAL) in no-till corn (Zea mays L. ‘Pioneer 3747’) with fluorochloridone {3-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-2-pyrrolidinone}. Giant foxtail (Setaria faberi Herrm. # SETFA) control was reduced as much as 25% by 90 days after planting when fluorochloridone was applied early preplant rather than preemergence. Fluorochloridone at 0.8 kg/ha applied preplant or preemergence gave 83% or greater control of common lambsquarters and giant foxtail for the entire growing season. However, velvetleaf control with the same treatments was 61% or less. Fluorochloridone caused minimal corn injury. Greenhouse bioassay indicated that fluorochloridone may carry over and injure soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] the year after application. Imbibition of fluorochloridone by seed of corn and giant foxtail did not reduce germination at concentrations up to 10-3 M. Giant foxtail seedling fresh weight was reduced 80% following imbibition of 10-5 M fluorochloridone. Corn seedling fresh weight was not reduced by imbibition of up to 10-4 M fluorochloridone.
