When trifluralin [α,α,α - trifluoro - 2,6 - dinitro -N,N-dipropyl-p -toluidine] was manually incorporated in small field plots to a depth of 10 cm, ivyleaf morningglory [Ipomoea hederacea (L.) Jacq.] was controlled more effectively than when incorporation was only 5 cm deep. No significant differences in ivyleaf morningglory control were observed between different incorporation depths when trifluralin was mechanically incorporated in large field plots. Ivyleaf morningglory emerging from 10 cm deep was controlled to a greater degree than that emerging from 5 cm deep. Preplant incorporated (PPI) trifluralin plus alachlor [2 - chloro – 2′, 6’ - diethyl - N- (methoxymethyl)acetanilide ] applied preemergence (PE) controlled up to 92% of the ivyleaf morningglory compared to 33 and 15% respectively, when these herbicides were applied alone at equal rates. This indicates a synergistic interaction between these two compounds. Trifluralin PPI plus RH 8817 [5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl phenoxy) - 2 - nitrobenzoic acid ethyl ester] and alachlor applied PE controlled ivyleaf morningglory more effectively (88 to 94%) than all other treatments. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] injury and stand reduction were less than 5% in all studies.
