Abstract
Seven dinitroaniline herbicides were tested in the field for 3 yr at rates up to twice that normally used for annual grass control. Trifluralin ( α,α,α -trifluoro-2,6-dinitro- N,N -dipropyl- p -toluidine) and profluralin [ N -(cyclopropylmethyl)- α,α,α -trifluoro-2,6-dinitro- N -propyl- p -toluidine] gave 95 and 94% control of johnsongrass [ Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.] from rhizomes, respectively, after the third year at the double rate. These two herbicides controlled johnsongrass from rhizomes better than nitralin [4-methylsulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro- N,N -dipropylaniline], butralin [4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)- N -(1-methylpropyl)-2,6-dinitrobenzenamine] and pendimethalin [ N -(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitrobenzenamine] at comparable rates. After 3 yr, seed cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. ‘Stoneville 213’) yields were higher with double rates of trifluralin, profluralin, fluchloralin [ N -(2-chloroethyl)-2,6-dinitro- N -propyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline], and pendimethalin, than with nitralin, dinitramine (N 4 , N 4 -diethyl- α,α,α -trifluoro-3,5-dinitrotoluene-2,4-diamine), and butralin. In greenhouse studies, reduction of cotton raproot length by the dinitroaniline herbicides incorporated at the normal rate of use followed the order: butralin ≤ pendimethalin ≤ fluchloralin ≤ trifluralin < profluralin < dinitramine. All herbicides except pendimethalin at 0.28 and 0.56 kg/ha reduced lateral root production of cotton. The dinitroaniline herbicides at normal rates of use reduced fresh weight of cotton seedlings from 12 to 34%. The mean vapor toxicity of the dinitroaniline herbicides to Japanese millet [ Echinochloa crus-galli (Roxb.) Wight ‘frumentacea’] shoots averaged from no injury with oryzalin (3,5-dinitro- N 4 , N 4 -dipropylsulfanilamide) and nitralin to 66% injury with dinitramine and trifluralin.
