Abstract
Field experiments were conducted in 1986 and 1987 to evaluate the effect of herbicide rate (two-thirds and maximum labeled rate) and timing of application before soybean planting on common cocklebur control. In 1986, chlorimuron plus metribuzin at 50 plus 320 and 80 plus 480 g ai/ha and imazaquin at 90 g ai/ha applied at planting controlled common cocklebur better than when applied 4 weeks before planting (WBP). Imazaquin at 140 g/ha applied at planting controlled common cocklebur better than when applied 6 WBP. All treatments at two-thirds of the labeled rate applied at planting controlled common cocklebur comparable to the full labeled rate applied 2, 4, or 6 WBP. In 1987, all treatments applied 2 WBP controlled common cocklebur better than when applied 4, 6, or 8 WPB.
