Abstract

Vernolate (S-propyl dipropylthiocarbamate) injected into a sandy loam soil controlled a higher percentage of early weeds in soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in 2 years out of 3 when compared with incorporated vernolate at the same rate by conventional methods. Late season weed control was enhanced by split applications of herbicides applied postemergence in sequence with vernolate. Chloroxuron (3-[p-(p-chlorophenoxy)phenyl]-1,1-dimethylurea) applied early postemergence plus 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea (linuron) or 2,4-bis-(isopropylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine (prometryne) applied in split applications as late and layby treatments gave the best weed control. Prometryne caused chlorotic veination in the upper leaves of the plants each year. In 1970, when prometryne was applied in sequence with incorporated vernolate, soybean plants were injured 30% compared with only 8% injury when the same herbicide was applied in sequence with injected vernolate at the same rate. The average seed yields were higher from injected vernolate at 1.12 kg/ha than from incorporated vernolate at 2.24 kg/ha. There was no difference in yield when vernolate was incorporated or injected at the same rate. Seed yields from the 3-year average were lower from plots treated with prometryne than from plots treated with linuron or 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (dinoseb). Generally, the soybean seed quality was lower and seed size smaller when herbicide treatments failed to control weeds throughout the growing season.
