Abstract

Field studies were conducted at the Main Experiment Station, Fayetteville, AR, in 1994 and 1995 to evaluate the effect of postemergence herbicides applied at late-season timings on sicklepod seed production and viability. AC 263,222, dicamba, glyphosate, glufosinate, and paraquat were applied at five rates (zero; labeled rate; one-half, one-fourth, and one-eighth the labeled rate) to three sicklepod growth stages (bud formation, flowering to 9-cm pods, and 15- to 30-cm pods). The greatest reduction in seed production occurred when herbicides were applied at the flowering to 9-cm pod growth stage. All herbicides applied at one-half the labeled rate to sicklepod at bud formation and at the flowering to 9-cm pod growth stage reduced seed production greater than 80%, except glufosinate. Regardless of herbicide, rate, or application timing, viability of remaining seed was ≥ 90% with all treatments.
