Abstract
Field experiments were conducted in 1977 and 1978 to determine the susceptibility of S. halepense to metriflufen applied as presowing-incorporated, pre-em. or post-em. treatments. Rates of metriflufen applied presowing and pre-em. were 1.12, 2.24 or 3.36 kg/ha. Post-em. treatments consisted of 0.56, 1.12 or 1.68 kg metriflufen/ha + a non-ionic polyethylene glycol alkyl ester, each applied to S. halepense at growth stages of 30-38 cm, 60-75 cm or heading. S. halepense control increased with each increase in rate of soil-applied metriflufen with no differences in control between presowing and pre-em. treatments. S. halepense density was reduced by increased rates of metriflufen and soil-applied treatments in 1978 reduced densities by 62%. Presowing and pre-em. applications of 3.36 kg metriflufen/ha resulted in higher soyabean yields than did the lower rates. Trifluralin treatment gave similar results. Metriflufen applied to 30- to 38-cm tall S. halepense reduced stands by 60% in 1978, but stands increased by 53 and 71% in plots treated at the 60- to 75-cm or heading stages of growth. Soyabean tolerance to post-em. applications of metriflufen was excellent for all stages of growth and rates
