Abstract

Experiments were conducted from 1989 to 1991 to determine the critical period of johnsongrass control in field corn. Maximum weed-infested and weed-free periods of 0 to 20 wk after corn emergence were maintained by either hand weeding or nicosulfuron application. Interference duration effects on corn grain yield were not affected by johnsongrass control methods. The critical period for johnsongrass control was determined to be between 3 and 6.5 wk after corn emergence to avoid losses above 5% of yield produced by full-season weed-free corn.

Claim · model-written summary

The critical period for johnsongrass control in field corn was between 3 and 6.5 weeks after corn emergence, to avoid yield losses above 5% relative to full-season weed-free corn.
