Abstract

Thirteen field experiments were conducted to evaluate quinclorac for cheat control in hard red winter wheat. Cheat control with quinclorac was variable. Quinclorac at 560 and 1120 g a.i./ha applied to tillered wheat controlled cheat 93 to 100% at four sites. In contrast, pooled over four other experiments and four application times, quinclorac at 420 g/ha and 560 g/ha controlled cheat only 20 and 31%, respectively. Quinclorac at 420 g/ha plus chlorsulfuron:metsulfuron (5:1) at 35 g a.i./ha applied PRE increased wheat yield 28% at one of three sites. At two of these sites, averaged over chlorsulfuron:metsulfuron rates of 0, 18, and 35 g a.i./ha, quinclorac at 280 and 420 g/ha applied POST, increased wheat yield 32 to 112%. In two cultivar tolerance experiments, quinclorac treatments did not damage any cultivar. Pooled over cultivars, yields were increased 7 and 10% when quinclorac at 280 and 560 kg/ha was applied, respectively. In a greenhouse experiment, quinclorac plus dicamba or esfenvalerate consistently reduced the leaf area of cheat in a manner suggesting synergistic effects. Of eight adjuvants evaluated in a laboratory experiment, only quinclorac plus the adjuvant BCH 864 01S reduced cheat leaf area more than quinclorac alone.
