Mark Spencer McCown Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science 2018
Other claims from this paper (17)
- Intervention effect Dicamba at late vegetative and early reproductive stages caused soybean leaf injury versus the untreated check.
- Intervention effect The same dicamba treatment reduced plant height.
- Intervention effect The same dicamba treatment caused yield loss.
- Intervention effect The 1/64X dicamba rate caused greater yield loss regardless of cultivar, with R1 most sensitive.
- Intervention effect Dicamba at R1 reduced mature height by 35 cm in an indeterminate cultivar.
- Intervention effect Dicamba at R1 reduced mature height by 23 cm in a determinate cultivar.
- Intervention effect Grain yield fell 14% for the indeterminate cultivar.
- Intervention effect Grain yield fell 19% for the determinate cultivar.
- Intervention effect Later dicamba applications produced less apparent injury and height reduction.
- Association Offspring response depended on application timing and dicamba rate.
- Intervention effect Parent dicamba exposure reduced offspring seed germination and seedling emergence.
- Intervention effect Parent dicamba exposure reduced offspring plant height and seedling vigor.
- Observation Parent dicamba exposure caused offspring pod malformation.
- Intervention effect Parent dicamba exposure reduced offspring grain yield.
- Intervention effect Offspring had 17 to 23% injury after R4–R6 parent exposure at 2.18 g ha-1.
- Association Grain yield and pod malformation were unrelated.
- Association Authors infer cultivar, growth habit, or planting date may influence recovery from dicamba.
