Antagonism of Cyhalofop Grass Activity by Halosulfuron, Triclopyr, and Propanil1

Abstract

Field experiments in 2001 and 2002 at Stuttgart, AR, demonstrated cyhalofop applied POST controlled propanil-susceptible barnyardgrass, propanil-resistant barnyardgrass, and broadleaf signalgrass 67, 65, and 71%, respectively 28 days after treatment (DAT). Halosulfuron applied 1 d before cyhalofop or applied in a tank-mixture reduced broadleaf signalgrass and propanil-resistant or propanil-susceptible barnyardgrass by 35 to 59 percentage points. Triclopyr applied 5, 3, or 1 d before, or mixed with, cyhalofop reduced control of propanil-resistant and propanil-susceptible barnyardgrass, 16 to 41 percentage points, respectively. Triclopyr applied 1 d before cyhalofop or combined with cyhalofop reduced broadleaf signalgrass control 38 and 18 percentage points, respectively compared with cyhalofop alone. Propanil reduced cyhalofop grass control only when mixed with cyhalofop. Application timings, averaged across halosulfuron, propanil, and triclopyr, made 1 d before cyhalofop or tank-mixed with cyhalofop reduc...
