Abstract

Metribuzin at 0.42 kg ai/ha and metribuzin plus terbutryn at 0.28 plus 0.67 kg/ha were applied in the fall and spring to control downy brome in winter wheat from 1981 through 1985. Downy brome control averaged 88% from the fall-applied treatments and 63% from the spring-applied treatments. Yields from the fall- and spring-applied treatments averaged 136% and 132% of the check, respectively. Metribuzin plus terbutryn fall-applied controlled downy brome best (93%), and wheat yields were significantly higher than the checks in all experiments. Moreover, as downy brome density among locations increased, wheat yields decreased.
