Abstract

Herbicides were evaluated in the field in 1978 and 1979 for the control of Panicum miliaceum in peas and soybeans. Eight treatments that included dinitroaniline herbicides controlled P. miliaceum adequately through the entire growing season of early sown peas (approximately 60 days). Emergence and growth in untreated peas was suppressed by the early emergence, rapid growth and high plant density of the crop. Trifluralin at 0.8 kg/ha stunted pea growth and was the only treatment that reduced yields significantly. No herbicide treatment evaluated in soybeans controlled P. miliaceum adequately for the entire growing season without reducing soybean growth and yield. Treatments containing dinitroaniline herbicides, which controlled P. miliaceum in peas and resulted in good yields, did not perform similarly in soybeans
