Abstract
Multiple-herbicide-resistant (MHR) waterhemp has been confirmed in 18 Ontario counties. A total of four experiments were conducted in commercial fields with MHR waterhemp in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate preplant (PP) herbicide tank mixtures for control of MHR waterhemp in no-till corn. There was minimal visible corn injury from the herbicide treatments evaluated. At 2 WAA, all herbicide tank mixtures provided greater than 90% control of MHR waterhemp except for pyroxasulfone/carfentrazone + atrazine which controlled MHR waterhemp 85%. At 12 WAA, S-metolachlor/mesotrione/atrazine, S-metolachlor/mesotrione/bicyclopyrone/atrazine, and diflufenican + atrazine + flufenacet controlled MHR waterhemp 86, 91, and 98%, respectively; all other herbicide tank mixtures provided 65 to 83% control. At 8 WAA, S-metolachlor/mesotrione/bicyclopyrone/atrazine and diflufenican + atrazine + flufenacet reduced MHR waterhemp density 97 and 100%, respectively similar to the weed-free control; all other herbicide tank mixtures reduced MHR waterhemp density 64 to 96%. At 8 WAA, S-saflufenacil/dimethenamid-P + mesotrione, S-metolachlor/mesotrione/atrazine, tembotrione + dicamba + flufenacet, metolachlor/mesotrione/bicyclopyrone/atrazine, and diflufenican + atrazine + flufenacet reduced MHR waterhemp biomass 96, 97, 98, 98, and 100%, respectively; all other herbicide tank mixtures reduced MHR waterhemp biomass 72 to 93%. MHR waterhemp interference reduced corn yield 80% in this study. All herbicide tank mixtures resulted in corn yield that was similar to the weed-free control. Among the herbicide tank mixtures evaluated S-metolachlor/mesotrione/bicyclopyrone/atrazine and diflufenican + atrazine + flufenacet provided the greatest control of MHR waterhemp in no-till corn.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Agricultural Science publishes papers concerned with the advance of agriculture and the use of land resources throughout the world. It publishes original scientific work related to strategic and applied studies in all aspects of agricultural science and exploited species, as well as reviews of scientific topics of current agricultural relevance. Specific topics of interest include (but are not confined to): all aspects of crop and animal physiology, modelling of crop and animal systems, the scientific underpinning of agronomy and husbandry, animal welfare and behaviour, soil science, plant and animal product quality, plant and animal nutrition, engineering solutions, decision support systems, land use, environmental impacts of agriculture and forestry, impacts of climate change, rural biodiversity, experimental design and statistical analysis, and the application of new analytical and study methods (including genetic diversity and molecular biology approaches). The journal also publishes book reviews and letters. Occasional themed issues are published which have recently included centenary reviews, wheat papers and modelling animal systems.
