Abstract

Field experiments were conducted during 1984 and 1985 to determine the influence of 2,4-D and MCPA amine and ester formulations on control of foxtail millet with diclofop. Foxtail millet control increased as the diclofop rate increased from 0.6 to 1.7 kg ai/ha whether diclofop was applied alone or with 2,4-D or MCPA amine and ester formulations; however, foxtail millet control was lower when diclofop was applied with 2,4-D or MCPA amine and ester formulations compared to diclofop applied alone. MCPA ester, MCPA amine, 2,4-D ester, or 2,4-D amine at 0.14 kg ai/ha added to a diclofop spray mixture reduced foxtail millet control 8, 15, 20, and 30% compared to diclofop applied alone, averaged over diclofop rates of 0.6, 0.8, 1.1, 1.4, and 1.7 kg/ha. Adding a petroleum oil to diclofop increased foxtail millet control with diclofop at 0.6 kg/ha but not at 0.8 kg/ha. The petroleum oil additive did not overcome the antagonism of foxtail millet control when diclofop at 0.6 kg/ha was applied with 2,4-D or MCPA amine and ester formulations. The amount of 14C-diclofop absorbed by oats was greater when diclofop was applied with the ester formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA compared to the amine formulations. Either once-refined sunflower oil or sunflower oil methyl ester applied with 14C-diclofop increased the amount of 14C absorbed and translocated in oat plants compared to 14C-diclofop applied alone.
