Abstract

When weeds were controlled in sorghum by hand-weeding or a herbicide there was no advantage or need for cultivation. Control of weeds in sorghum with preemergence herbicides was feasible, but the combination of cultivation and herbicides gave more dependable weed control than either method used alone. Preemergence applications of 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) were the most effective for controlling weeds and increasing sorghum yields. In decreasing order of effectiveness were 2-chloro-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (propazine), 2-chloro-N,N-diallylacetamide (CDAA) + trichlorobenzyl chloride (TCBC), and postemergence atrazine applications.
