Abstract

In 1987-89, field experiments were conducted to evaluate rates of activated carbon in transplant water to reduce injury to tobacco from imazaquin. Rates of activated carbon were 0, 2.2, 4.5, and 9 kg ha−1 in 1987 and 0, 9, 18, and 36 kg ha−1 in 1988-89. Imazaquin rates were 0, 0.3, and 0.6 kg ha−1 applied over-the-top immediately after transplanting. Results indicated that 9 kg ha−1 of activated carbon was the minimum amount to reduce injury from imazaquin. No additional protection was achieved with rates above 9 kg ha−1, whereas lower rates appeared to offer less protection based on visible stunting ratings.
