Abstract

Few postemergence (POST) herbicides are available for broad-spectrum weed control in pea. Field experiments were conducted to determine the suitability of imazamox to provide selective control of grass and broadleaf weeds in pea. Imazamox controlled several grass and broadleaf species, but the rate required to attain 90% control ranged from 7 to 36 g ai/ha depending on the weed species. Imazamox efficacy differed with the adjuvant included in the spray mixture. Merge adjuvant often increased imazamox activity on weeds more than Sun-It II methylated seed oil or a combination of Agral 90 adjuvant plus 28–0–0 liquid fertilizer. Pea exhibited excellent tolerance to imazamox up to the highest rate applied, 40 g/ha. Pea yield comparable to that of the hand-weeded control was attained with 20 to 30 g/ha of imazamox. Imazamox offers growers a POST option for broad-spectrum weed control in pea.
