Abstract
AbstractBiotypes of Palmer amaranth that are resistant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor are becoming widespread in western Nebraska. There are limited effective postemergence (POST) herbicides labeled for ALS-inhibitor-resistant Palmer amaranth control in dry edible bean. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dimethenamid-Pin a sequential preemergence (PRE) fb followed by (fb) POST program at two POST application timings, the first and third trifoliate stages (V1 and V3, respectively), for controlling ALS-inhibitor-resistant Palmer amaranth in dry edible bean. A field study was conducted in 2019, 2020, and 2021 in Scottsbluff, NE. PRE-alone applications of pendimethalin + dimethenamid-Pprovided inconsistent Palmer amaranth control. Dimethenamid-Papplied POST following a PRE application of pendimethalin + dimethenamid-Pprovided effective (>90%) Palmer amaranth control at 4 wk after V3 only at the V1 application timing in 2019. In 2020 and 2021 dimethenamid-Papplied POST at V1 and V3 following a PRE application of pendimethalin + dimethenamid-Pprovided 99% and 98% Palmer amaranth control at 4 wk after V3, and 98% and 94% Palmer amaranth control at harvest, respectively. Palmer amaranth biomass was reduced by 95% to 99% and by 96% to 98% compared with the -nontreated control when dimethenamid-Pwas applied POST at V1 and V3, respectively, following a PRE application of pendimethalin + dimethenamid-Pin 2020 and 2021. Application of a mixture of dimethenamid-Pwith imazamox + bentazon POST provided similar results to those of the fomesafen-containing treatments and dimethenamid-Palone POST. Dimethenamid-Papplied POST following a PRE application of pendimethalin + dimethenamid-Presulted in similar yield as the fomesafen-containing treatments. If fomesafen is not an option due to the crop rotation interval restriction, using dimethenamid-Pin a sequential PRE fb POST program is the only effective alternative to control ALS-inhibitor–resistant Palmer amaranth in Nebraska. The use of dimethenamid-Pin a sequential PRE fb POST program, alone or mixed with foliar-active herbicides should be considered by dry edible bean growers who are dealing with ALS-inhibitor-resistant Palmer amaranth.
