Abstract
"To determine clomazone tolerance of cucurbit crops, at differentrates (0.3, 0.45, 0.6 and 0.9 kg ai ha−1) and to evaluate weedcontrol efficacy of those treatments, six field studies wereconducted in the 1998-1999 season. Clomazone at 0.45 kg ai ha−1provided an excellent weed control (>90%) compared with theuntreated plots. Yield and number of fruit per plot in all cropswere not affected (p≤0.05) by clomazone treatment regardless ofthe rate used, except in honeydew (Cucumis melo L. var. inodorusNaud). As for leaf injury, with the exception of zucchini (Cucurbitapepo L.) and winter squash (C. maxima Duch, Ex. Poiret), all othercrops [cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), honeydew (Cucumis meloL. var. inodorus Naud), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.Matsumara and Nakai) and cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L. var.reticulatus Naud), exhibited leaf bleaching 10 d after treatment;cantaloupe and watermelon were the least tolerant crops.However, the bleaching effect was transient and did not affectyield. Clomazone can be used selectively as a preemergenceherbicide on winter squash, zucchini and cucumber at ratesranging from 0.3 to 0.9 kg ai ha−1; and on honeydew, watermelonand cantaloupe from 0.3 to 0.6 kg ia ha−1."
