Abstract
Field studies were conducted in 2009 and 2010 to determine control of Palmer amaranth and crop injury resulting from a postemergence (POST) premix application of pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil and various tank‐mix partners. The objectives were to (i) determine the effects of different pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil rates and tank‐mix partners applied at early and mid‐POST (EPOST and MPOST) on Palmer amaranth control; (ii) evaluate weed control following application at different Palmer amaranth sizes; and (iii) assess sorghum injury and yield as affected by herbicides applied at the 4‐leaf, 10‐leaf, and boot stages. At both EPOST and MPOST, pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil + atrazine alone or mixed with 2,4‐D or dicamba consistently provided better Palmer amaranth control (>98% at EPOST and >90% at MPOST) than bromoxynil + atrazine (94% at EPOST and 58% at MPOST). At EPOST, control of Palmer amaranth by pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil alone varied with year, but the control was 100% at 42 days after treatment (DAT) when pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil was tank‐mixed with atrazine at 0.50 lb a.i./acre or dicamba at 0.20 lb a.i./acre. Pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil at more than 0.02 + 0.14 lb a.i./acre plus atrazine at 0.50 lb a.i./acre provided 100% control at 42 DAT when Palmer amaranth was less than 9 inches tall. In controlling 15‐ to 18‐inch‐tall Palmer amaranth, the efficacy of pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil + atrazine ranged from 83% to 99%. Pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil + atrazine resulted in up to 28% leaf burn at 3 DAT when applied to 4‐leaf sorghum, but plants completely recovered from the injury within 28 DAT. Addition of dicamba to pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil + atrazine tended to reduce sorghum injury. However, application of pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil + atrazine + dicamba at the boot stage reduced sorghum grain yields up to 37%.
