Abstract

Field experiments were conducted in 11 states to evaluate broadleaf weed management programs in dicamba-resistant soybeans which involved the use of preemergence and postemergence dicamba. Preemergence (PRE) dicamba at 0.25 lb ae/acre provided less than 60% control of smooth pigweed, giant ragweed, velvetleaf, palmer amaranth, waterhemp, and morningglory spp., but 97% control of common lambsquarters and horseweed at 3 weeks after treatment (WAT). Preemergence flumioxazin plus chlorimuron or sulfentrazone plus cloransulam provided 66 to 100% control of these weeds. Use of dicamba postemergence (POST) improved uniformity of control of velvetleaf, smooth pigweed, morningglory, and glyphosate-susceptible waterhemp. However, combining dicamba at 0.25 lb/acre with glyphosate resulted in 30% to 65% greater control of glyphosate-resistant palmer amaranth, glyphosate-resistant common waterhemp, glyphosate-resistant horseweed, and glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed compared to sequentially applied glyphosate.
