Abstract

Preemergence application of chloramben (3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid) at 5.0 and 6.7 kg/ha, chlorbromuron [3-(4-bromo-3-chlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea] at 2.2 kg/ha, and linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea] + nitralin [4-(methyl-sulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropylaniline] at 1.1 + 1.1 kg/ha controlled 95% or more of the barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.], common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.), red-root pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), Powell amaranth (A. powellii S. Wats.), and hairy nightshade (Solanum sarachoides Sendt.), but reduced stands and injured direct-seeded asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L. ‘UC-66’). Linuron at 1.1 kg/ha controlled only 84% of the barnyardgrass and metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazin-5(4H)-one] at 0.6 kg/ha controlled about 50% of the hairy nightshade. Activated carbon applied at 56 and 112 kg/ha in a 3-cm band over the seeded row protected the asparagus from chloramben at 5.0 kg/ha, chlorbromuron at 2.2 kg/ha, and linuron + nitralin at 1.1 + 1.1 kg/ha. Weed control generally was reduced about 10% in the carbon band, but control was still 85 to 90%. Metribuzin reduced asparagus stands and vigor severely, even when 112 kg/ha of activated carbon was applied.
