Abstract

In the greenhouse, 20% granular isopropyl N-(3-chlorophenyl) carbamate (CIPC) at 6 lb/A provided 100% dodder control for 3 to 6 weeks. In the field, 95 to 100% control persisted beyond the expected soil life of CIPC because shade from the crop plants inhibited dodder development and dry soil reduced dodder germination. Effective control required uniform distribution on the soil before the dodder was wrapped on the host plant. CIPC was most effective when applied on the soil surface; incorporation ½, 1½, or 3 in deep reduced its effectiveness. It controlled dodder well if applied to moist soil but was less effective when the soil surface was dry. Partial shade from the crop at the time of application increased the effectiveness of CIPC. Under certain undefined conditions, CIPC applied to the soil injured attached dodder. However, it was consistently effective only on dodder seedlings before attachment.
