Abstract

Field studies were conducted during 1967 and 1968 at the University of Wisconsin Experimental Farm, Arlington, Wisconsin, to determine the comparative effectiveness of combinations of row spacings and rates of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea (linuron) for control of yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca (L.) Beauv.) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli (L.) Beauv.) in soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Soybean yields and weed control increased as row spacing decreased. Lower rates of linuron were required for comparable weed control as row spacing decreased. Yield increases with decreasing row width were much greater in 1968 than in 1967, probably because of better rainfall during July, August, and early September in 1968. Improved weed control in the narrow rows may have been due partially to absorption by soybean leaves of light wavelengths that may be most favorable for photosynthesis and vegetative growth of some weed species.
