Abstract

Field studies were conducted to evaluate common cocklebur control in soybean with imazaquin applied preplant incorporated (PPI), preemergence (PRE), and postemergence (POST) at rates ranging from 24 to 140 g ai ha-1. With logistic regression analysis, predictions of common cocklebur control with imazaquin at 140 g ha-1 ranged from 92 to 95% (PPI), 87 and 92% (PRE), and 88 to 98% (POST) when rainfall was received for activation of PRE treatments and when weeds were not moisture stressed at time of POST application. When imazaquin was reduced to 70 g ha-1 under the same conditions, weed control was no higher than 88% PPI and 78% PRE. For all locations and years, common cocklebur control ranged from 79 to 91% for imazaquin POST at 24 g ha-1. Soybean yield was positively correlated with common cocklebur control (r = 0.66, P < 0.05).
