- Intervention effect Broadcast application caused 6% greater crop injury than banding.
- Intervention effect Broadcast application increased common lambsquarters control by 5% compared with banding.
- Intervention effect Broadcast application increased crop yield by 15% compared with banding.
- Intervention effect Increasing MSO from 1.5% to 3% generally did not improve weed control.
- Intervention effect At the microrate with 1.5% MSO, sugarbeet injury was lowest at 11%.
- Observation At the microrate with 1.5% MSO, average weed control was 86%.
- Intervention effect The half rate increased average weed control from 86% to 92% relative to the microrate.
- Intervention effect The half rate increased common lambsquarters control from 81% to 89% relative to the microrate.
- Observation Sugarbeet root yield without herbicide was 23 t/ha.
- Observation Sugarbeet root yield with the microrate was 48 t/ha.
- Observation Sugarbeet root yield with the half rate was 49 t/ha.
- Observation Sugarbeet root yield with the full rate without MSO was 54 t/ha.
- Intervention effect The three-quarter rate with 1.5% MSO increased crop injury to 27%.
- Intervention effect The three-quarter rate with 1.5% MSO increased average weed control to 96%.
- Intervention effect Adding 1.5% MSO to the full rate increased crop injury to 35%.
- Intervention effect Adding 1.5% MSO to the full rate did not improve weed control over the full rate without MSO.
