e0“In soybean, glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, halosulfuron, mesotrione, tembotrione, and propanil were applied at low rates to simulate drift events, in combination with the insecticide seed treatments thiamethoxam and clothianidin at labeled rates”
e1“field trials were conducted in Marianna, AR, in 2015 and 2016, and near Colt, AR, in 2016”
e2“Injury reduction was seen at 1 site-year for glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, mesotrione, and tembotrione, and at 2 of 3 site-years for halosulfuron”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Insecticide seed treatments reduced halosulfuron drift injury in soybean at 2 of 3 site-years.
- Intervention effect Halosulfuron safening increased crop height and yield in soybean at 1 site-year.
- Intervention effect In grain sorghum, reducing injury via seed treatments was generally more successful than in soybean.
- Intervention effect Quizalofop plus clothianidin reduced sorghum injury by upward of 40% at Marianna in 2016, and all three herbicides showed injury reduction in sorghum at one or more site-years.
- Intervention effect Insecticide use increased crop height and grain yield in grain sorghum at 2 site-years compared with no insecticide use.
- Recommendation Growers who use insecticide seed treatments annually may expect a safening effect from drift of most herbicides in soybean and grain sorghum.
