Abstract

Abstract Field experiments were conducted near Beresford and South Shore, South Dakota, in 2023 and 2024, to determine weed control and soybean yield with 2,4-D and glufosinate applied individually, together, and sequentially. Herbicides were sequentially applied 12 d after an initial application. 2,4-D + glufosinate additively controlled and reduced the height of all tested weed species. Sequential applications resulted in greater control of common lambsquarters, waterhemp, redroot pigweed, and velvetleaf compared with 2,4-D or glufosinate applied alone, or 2,4-D + glufosinate applied in a mixture. The order in which herbicides were sequentially applied did not influence broadleaf weed control. Yellow foxtail control was greater with sequential applications of glufosinate. Soybean yield at Beresford was similar across all treatments. Yields were generally greater at South Shore with sequential herbicide applications when glufosinate was initially applied. The experiment results suggest that weed control and soybean yield are greater with 2,4-D + glufosinate or sequential application treatments that include 2,4-D and glufosinate.
