Abstract

During field trials at St. Joseph, Louisiana in 1979-81, percentage control of Sorghum halepense was 66, 85, 86, 96 and 98 with 0.14, 0.28, 0.41, 0.56 or 1.12 kg BAS 9052 [sethoxydim]/ha although there was variation between yr. S. halepense was growing in soyabeans cv. Bragg and Centennial, yields of which were not significantly affected by applying sethoxydim at different growth stages, viz. V3-V4 or V5-V7 except in 1981. An exponential equation was used to describe the relationship of soyabean seed yield to herbicide rate; 0.28 kg sethoxydim/ha provided an estimated 98% of the potential soyabean yield increase when rainfall was adequate, but 0.41 kg was required during moisture stress
