Abstract
Field research in 2003 and 2004 evaluated soybean injury, weed control, yield response, and cost-effectiveness of foliar-applied, commercially-available K fertilizers with glyphosate. Fertilizer sources were applied at the highest soluble rate for dry formulations or were used as the carrier with glyphosate. All K-fertilizer sources had less than 10% injury 7 and 14 days after treatment (DAT) except 0-0-30-0 (%N-%P2O5-%K2O-%S). Tank mixtures of 0-0-62-0, 14-0-46-0, 0-0-50-17, and 3-18-18-0 with glyphosate controlled common ragweed, common lambsquarters, common waterhemp, and giant foxtail greater than 85% and had grain yields similar to glyphosate plus diammonium sulfate (DAS). Gross margins when glyphosate was tank-mixed with 0-0-62-0, 14-0-46-0, and 0-0-50-17 ranged from $290 to 300/acrewhich were similar to glyphosate plus DAS. This research demonstrated that several K fertilizer sources may be combined with glyphosate for cost-effective foliar fertilizer applications while minimizing crop injury and maintaining weed control.
