Abstract

Field studies were conducted from 1995 through 1998 to evaluate citronmelon control in peanut with various preplant and preemergence combinations of dimethenamid, flumioxazin, imazethapyr, lactofen, metolachlor, oxyfluorfen, and pendimethalin. Pendimethalin alone or in combination with imazethapyr, metolachlor, or dimethenamid did not control citronmelon. Flumioxazin alone, pendimethalin plus flumioxazin, or pendimethalin followed by (fb) lactofen controlled citronmelon at least 85% early season. Pendimethalin fb lactofen controlled citronmelon at least 75% late season, whereas all other herbicide treatments controlled less than 70%.
