Abstract

Injury to corn (Zea mays L.) from S-ethyl diisobutylthiocarbamate (butylate) was investigated with respect to hybrid. Field experiments in 1971 at Dillon and Clemson, South Carolina, established that the corn hybrid ‘Coker 71’ was more tolerant to butylate than ‘Pioneer 511A’. Also established as being tolerant and sensitive to butylate were the hybrids ‘Pioneer 3030’ and ‘PAG 644’, respectively. Laboratory studies with 14C-butylate showed that the resistant hybrid ‘Pioneer 3030’ took up less 14C-butylate and metabolized more to 14CO2 than did ‘PAG 644’.
