Abstract

Greenhouse studies were initiated to determine the efficacy of four herbicide antidotes as protectants of corn (Zea mays L., ‘DeKalb XL72AA’ and ‘DeKalb XL67′) against injury from preemergence or early postemergence applications of the herbicides chlorsulfuron {2-chloro-N-[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)amino] carbonyl] benzenesulfonamide}, fluazifop-butyl {butyl-2-[4-[5-(trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinyl)oxy] phenoxy] propanoate}, or BAS 9052 OH {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)-butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)-propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1-one}. NA (1,8-naphthalic anhydride) was the most effective of the four antidotes in protecting corn against injury from preemergence applications of chlorsulfuron. CGA-43089 [α-(cyanomethoxy)-imino-benzeneacetonitrile] and CGA-92194 [α-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl-methoxy)-imino-benzeneacetonitrile] partially protected corn from chlorsulfuron injury, whereas R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide] was the least effective. R-25788 offered partial to good protection to corn against injury from preemergence applications of fluazifop-butyl and BAS 9052 OH. NA, or CGA-43089, and CGA-92194 partially protected corn from fluazifop-butyl injury but their efficacy against BAS 9052 OH injury to corn was limited. In general, all four antidotes offered better protection to the thiocarbamate-tolerant ‘XL72AA’ hybrid than to the thiocarbamate-susceptible ‘XL67’ hybrid. With the exception of NA, which partially protected corn from postemergence-applied chlorsulfuron, none of the four herbicide antidotes was effective in protecting corn against injury from postemergence applications of any of the three herbicides.
