Weed control and crop tolerance of micro-encapsulated acetochlor applied sequentially in glyphosate-resistant soybean. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 973Á981. Acetochlor, an acetamide herbicide, has been used for many years for weed control in several crops, including soybean. Micro-encapsulated acetochlor has been recently registered for preplant (PP), pre-emergence (PRE), and post-emergence (POST) application in soybean in the United States. Information is not available regarding the sequential application of acetochlor for weed control and soybean tolerance. The objectives of this research were to determine the effect of application timing of micro-encapsulated acetochlor applied in tank-mixture with glyphosate in single or sequential applications for weed control in glyphosate- resistant soybean, and to determine its impact on soybean injury and yields. Field experiments were conducted at Clay Center, Nebraska, in 2012 and 2013, and at Waverly, Nebraska, in 2013. Acetochlor tank-mixed with glyphosate applied alone PP, PRE, or tank-mixed with flumioxazin, fomesafen, or sulfentrazone plus chlorimuron provided 99% control of common waterhemp, green foxtail, and velvetleaf at 15 d after planting (DAP); however, control declined to 540% at 100 DAP. Acetochlor tank-mixed with glyphosate applied PRE followed by early POST (V2 to V3 stage of soybean) or late POST (V4 to V5 stage) resulted in ]90% control of common waterhemp and green foxtail, reduced weed density to 52 plants m2 and biomass to 512 g m2, and resulted in soybean yields3775 kg ha1. The sequential applications of glyphosate plus acetochlor applied PP followed by early POST or late POST resulted in equivalent weed control to the best herbicide combinations included in this study and soybean yield equivalent to the weed free control. Injury to soybean wasB10% in each of the treatments evaluated. Micro-encapsulated acetochlor can be a good option for soybean growers for controlling grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds if applied in a PRE followed by POST herbicide program in tank- mixture with herbicides of other modes of action.

Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 973Á981. On utilise l’ace´tochlor depuis de nombreuses anne´es pour lutter contre les mauvaises herbes dans diverses cultures, dont le soja. Les E´tats-Unis ont homologue´depuis peu les microcapsules de cet herbicide a` base d’ace´tamide comme traitement avant les semis, avant la leve´e et apre` s la leve´e pour le soja. Toutefois, on ne posse` de pas d’informations sur le de´sherbage par applications se´quentielles d’ace´tochlor, ni sur la tole´rance du soja a` un tel traitement. La pre´sente recherche devait e´tablir les conse´quences du moment d’application d’un me´lange de microcapsules d’ace´tochlor et de glyphosate en un traitement unique ou en traitement se´quentiel pour lutter contre les mauvaises herbes dans les cultures de soja re´sistant au glyphosate; elle devait aussi pre´ciser l’impact du traitement sur les dommages cause´s au soja et sur le rendement de la culture. Les expe´riences ont e´te´re´alise´es au champ, a` Clay Center (Nebraska), en 2012 et 2013, ainsi qu’a` Waverly (Nebraska), en 2013. L’application du me´lange d’ace´tochlor et de glyphosate avant les semis ou la leve´e, seul ou en combinaison avec de la flumioxazine, du fomesafen ou du sulfentrazone plus du chlorimuron de´truit 99 % de l’amaranthe rugueuse, de la se´taire verte et de l’abutilon quinze jours apre` s les semis. Cependant, le de´sherbage diminue a` 40 % et moins cent jours apre` s les semis. Le me´lange d’ace´tochlor et de glyphosate applique´avant la leve´e, puis au de´but (stade V2 ou V3 du soja) ou a` la fin de la leve´e (stade V4 ou V5) de´truit au moins 90 % de l’amaranthe rugueuse et de la se´taire verte, ce qui re´duit la densite´ Can.

It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

  • Greenhouse and Field Evaluation of Isoxaflutole for Weed Control In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Greenhouse and field evaluation of isoxaflutole for weed control in maize in China Received: 27 June 2017 Ning Zhao, Lan Zuo, Wei Li, Wenlei Guo, Weitang Liu & Jinxin Wang Accepted: 18 September 2017 Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to provide a reference for pre-emergence (PRE) Published: xx xx xxxx application of isoxaflutole on maize in China. In greenhouse study, the isoxaflutole PRE application at 30 g active ingredient (a.i.) ha−1 could effectively control large numbers of weeds, especially some large-seeded broadleaves, tested in this study. The tolerance results indicated 21 maize hybrids showed different responses to isoxaflutole under greenhouse conditions. In 2015 and 2016, field experiments were conducted to determine and compare the weed control efficacy and safety to Zhengdan 958 maize with 6 herbicide treatments. In both years, isoxaflutole PRE at 100 to 250 g a.i. ha−1 was sufficient to provide satisfactory full-season control of the dominant common broadleaf and grass weeds in the field. Temporary injury to maize was observed with isoxaflutole treatments of 125, 150, and 250 g a.i. ha−1 in both years, but plants recovered within 4 to 6 wk. To maximize maize yield and provide satisfactory weed control, a range of 100 to 150 g a.i. ha−1 of isoxaflutole is recommended, depending on the soil characteristics, weather, and weed species present at the experimental site. Based on the results, isoxaflutole PRE has good potential for weed control in maize in China. Maize was planted on more hectares than any other crops in China from 2010 to 2014, with an average of 35 million ha planted per year and yield averaging 5,779 kg per ha per year1.

It is the second most abundantly applied herbicide on corn crops in the United States; however, human metabolites associated with known exposure to acetochlor have not been positively identified and confirmed. We positively identified acetochlor mercapturate (ACM) as a metabolite of acetochlor in urine samples collected during a 24-h period from custom (commercial) applicators who had applied acetochlor on either the day of or the day before urine collection. Concentrationsin applicator urine samplesrangedfrom 0.5 to 449 mg/l (0.3–121 mg/g creatinine). We found that ACM accounted for asmuch as42% of the total acetochlor-derived metabolites; however, as the exposure level decreased (based on total acetochlor metabolite level), ACM became a less abundant metabolite of acetochlor (o17%). Unmetabolized acetochlor was also measured in the urine samples analyzed. At high exposures (classified as 4100 mg/l), acetochlor accounted for about 0.8% of the total excreted acetochlor metabolites( B2% of the ACM concentrations).
