Abstract

Annual applications for 4 years of 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (dichlobenil), N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylacetamide (diphenamid), 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine), 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (chloramben), and 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion (paraquat) to a red raspberry (Rubus sp. ‘Newburgh’) planting had no direct deleterious effect upon the raspberry plants. Dichlobenil, simazine, and paraquat gave excellent weed control. Weed competition in control plots seriously reduced yields. Shoot development was delayed when dichlobenil was applied near the time of normal bud break.
