Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in 1986 and 1987 to determine the minimum effective rate (MER)3 of imazaquin and chlorimuron applied postemergence to common cocklebur. MER is defined as the quantity required to provide at least 90% control. Based on probit regression analyses, the mean calculated MERs of imazaquin and chlorimuron for 2-leaf common cocklebur were 27.5 and 4.5 g ai/ha, respectively. Under optimum growing conditions, the calculated MERs of imazaquin and chlorimuron for 6-leaf common cocklebur were 34 and 4.6 g/ha, respectively. When applied to 6-leaf plants under slight moisture stress, the calculated MERs for imazaquin and chlorimuron were 54 and 17.4 g/ha, respectively.
