Abstract

Fluazifop-P, sethoxydim, and quizalofop were evaluated over two years for postemergence annual grass control in sweet potatoes. All treatments controlled broadleaf signalgrass and large crabgrass, but in 1987 only rates of at least 0.14 kg/ha of fluazifop-P and quizalofop and 0.28 kg/ha of sethoxydim controlled large crabgrass. No. 1 grade and total yield were greater from plots treated with herbicides compared with the weedy check in 1986. In 1987, No. 1 grade and total yield were greater in plots treated with fluazifop-P at 0.14 kg/ha or higher and sethoxydim or quizalofop at 0.28 kg/ha or higher.
