Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Mesotrione alone at all rates, atrazine at 1.1 kg/ha, or mesotrione plus atrazine combinations reduced new tuber production of volunteer potato to 1.1 or fewer per plant compared with 11 per plant in nontreated checks.
- Intervention effect Volunteer potato treated with atrazine alone at 0.3 kg/ha produced 3.3 tubers per plant.
- Intervention effect Volunteer potato treated with atrazine alone at 0.6 kg/ha produced 1.9 tubers per plant.
- Intervention effect Sweet corn yield was not affected by herbicide treatment in 2004.
- Intervention effect Sweet corn yield was reduced in 2005 when atrazine was used alone at 0.3 or 0.6 kg/ha because of poor control of volunteer potato.
- Intervention effect Volunteer potato control was improved in conventionally tilled plots treated with fluroxypyr compared with reduced-tillage plots.
- Intervention effect The number of volunteer potato tubers was reduced by 79 in conventionally tilled plots treated with fluroxypyr compared with reduced-tillage plots.
- Intervention effect Control of volunteer potato with mesotrione was greater than 98% regardless of tillage level.
- Intervention effect Mesotrione reduced volunteer potato tuber number and weight greater than or equal to all other treatments regardless of tillage level.
