Abstract

Combined effects of herbicides, herbicide rates, and cultivation for weed control in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Williams’] were studied using full and one-half rates of either chloramben (3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid) or alachlor [2-chloro-2′,6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] + linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea] with no, one, and two cultivations. The full rate was 2.2 kg/ha for alachlor and chloramben and 0.70 kg/ha for linuron. Alachlor + linuron was better than chloramben, and the full rate was better than the one-half rate. One or two cultivations were better than no cultivation. Cultivations were more effective when used with alachlor + linuron than when used with chloramben or when used alone. Alachlor + linuron at the full rate with one or two cultivations produced the best soybean yields. A one-half rate of alachlor + linuron with one or two cultivations yielded the same as a full rate of alachlor + linuron alone or with one cultivation, chloramben at one-half rate with two cultivations, and chloramben at a full rate with two cultivations. Cultivations can be effective by increasing weed control and yields when herbicide rate or effectiveness has been reduced. Use of a cultivation in addition to the preemergence herbicides used in this study is necessary for improved weed control and yields.
