Abstract
Field experiments were conducted from 1994 through 1996 to evaluate the effects of imazapic applied postemergence (POST) at 0.05 and 0.07 kg ai/ha, imazethapyr applied preplant incorporated (PPI) or POST at 0.07 kg ai/ha, and metolachlor applied PPI at 1.7 kg ai/ha on yellow nutsedge control, nutsedge tuber density, and peanut yield. All herbicides controlled yellow nutsedge at least 75% after 3 yr. Imazapic at 0.05 and 0.07 kg/ha controlled yellow nutsedge more consistently than did imazethapyr or metolachlor. Imazethapyr applied POST controlled yellow nutsedge more effectively than did imazethapyr applied PPI. Yellow nutsedge tuber densities in herbicide-treated plots were 51 to 75% less than in untreated control plots. Plots treated with imazapic, imazethapyr applied POST, and metolachlor resulted in higher peanut yields than did untreated control plots.Nomenclature: Imazapic; imazethapyr; metolachlor; yellow nutsedge, Cyperus esculentus L. #3 CYPES; peanut, Arachis hypogaea L. ‘GK-7’.Additional index words: ALS inhibitors, efficacy, tuber density.Abbreviations: EPOST, early postemergence; POST, postemergence; PPI, preplant incorporated; PRE, preemergence.
