Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Ethofumesate applied alone preemergence gave lower weed control than metamitron tank-mixed with it.
- Intervention effect Metamitron at 5.63 kg ai ha −1 or more gave at least 80% control of common lambsquarters and Palmer amaranth.
- Intervention effect Metamitron at 5.63 kg ai ha −1 or more did not control kochia.
- Recommendation Metamitron at 5.63 kg ai ha −1 or more applied preemergence is recommended to control Palmer amaranth, common lambsquarters, and redroot pigweed until later herbicides can be applied.
