Abstract
Six postemergence herbicides were applied two consecutive years in single and split applications to compare johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. # SORHA] control in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] planted in 25- and 76-cm inter-row spacings. Significantly less johnsongrass existed at harvest in the 25-cm spacings than in the 76-cm spacings with split applications of fenoxaprop {(±)-2-[4-[(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyl)oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} at 100 g ae/ha, fluazifop {(±)-2-[4-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} at 100 g ae/ha, sethoxydim {2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} at 200 g ai/ha, and SC-1084 {3-hydroxy-4-[4-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] pentanoic acid} at 250 g ae/ha. Quizalofop {(±)-2-[4-[(6-chloro-2-quinoxalinyl)oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} at 70 g ae/ha and haloxyfop {2-[4-[[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} at 100 g ae/ha controlled johnsongrass so well that differences between the two row spacings were not significant.
