Abstract
Cold stress and field studies were conducted to determine the effects of alachlor, metolachlor, butylate plus dichlormid, and EPTC plus dichlormid on germination and seedling vigor of 30 sweet corn cultivars with three commercially important endosperm mutants (su, se, andsh2). Seedling emergence from cool soils was best when treated with EPTC plus dichlormid and alachlor and was decreased 11% by metolachlor and butylate plus dichlormid. Theseandsh2endosperm mutants were injured the most by the herbicides. Plant size was reduced by the thiocarbamate herbicides but not by the chloracetamides.
