Abstract
Sulfonylurea-tolerant soybean (STS soybean) tolerance to imazethapyr (70 g/ha) plus thifensulfuron (4.4 g/ha) tank mixture was evaluated in 1993 and 1994 at two locations in Illinois. Thifensulfuron injury was reduced from 27% in non-STS soybean to 1% in STS soybean 14 days after treatment (DAT). STS and non-STS soybean did not differ in response to imazethapyr alone with < 6% injury 14 DAT. Injury from the tank mix was reduced from 40% in non-STS soybean to 24% in STS soybean 14 DAT. However, a synergistic interaction between the herbicides exists in STS soybean. The yield of injured soybean was not reduced in either STS or non-STS soybean. Injury to STS soybean from the tank mix was decreased by reducing the rate of imazethapyr from 70 g/ha to 52.5 or 35 g/ha. Reducing the thifensulfuron rate mixed with imazethapyr at 70 g/ha did not decrease injury in STS soybean. Control of smooth pigweed, common lambsquarters, and common cocklebur was not affected by reducing the rate of either herbicide in the tank mixture.
