Abstract

Buthidazole {3-[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-imidazolidinone} may be useful for selective weed control in corn (Zea mays L.) but injures corn seedlings at high rates. Greenhouse studies were initiated to test potential antidotes for buthidazole injury to corn seedlings. NA (1,8-naphthalic anhydride) and CDAA (N,N-diallyl-2-chloroacetamide) were the most effective of six chemicals evaluated. A ratio of 1:3 (buthidazole: CDAA) appeared to be optimal for the protection effect. CDAA appeared to be more effective than NA. Since both CDAA and NA offered limited protection but R-25788 did not, this action appears to be through a different mechanism than the one proposed for the thiocarbamate or acetanilide herbicides. The other chemicals tested were R-25788 (2,2-dichloro-N,N-diallylacetamide), R-29148 (2,2-dimethyl-5-methyl-dichloroace-tyloxazolidine), carboxin (2,3-dihydro-5-carboxanilido-6-methyl-1,4-oxanthiin) and gibberellin (GA3). Seven herbicides, members of the acetanilide, thiocarbamate, and dinitroaniline groups, were also tested for their antagonistic interactions but none offered protection.
