Protecting Corn (Zea mays) from Herbicide Injury with R – 25788
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Use of R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide) eliminated early-season corn (Zea mays L. '501D′) injury, stand loss, and yield reduction caused by EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) at 3.4, 6.7, and 13.4 kg/ha. R-25788 also eliminated early-season corn injury from butylate (S-ethyl diisobutylthiocarbamate) at 9.0 kg/ha. R-25788 did not consistently prevent corn yield reduction from 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid] or EPTC + 2,4-D. R-25788 had no effect on weed control from any of the herbicides evaluated nor any effect by itself on corn injury or corn yield. No corn injury or yield reductions occurred from vernolate (S-propyl dipropylthiocarbamate) at rates up to 6.7 kg/ha or alachlor [2-chloro-2′, 6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] at rates up to 13.4 kg/ha. Early-season corn injury frequently did not result in reduced corn yield.
