Abstract

The most effective and dependable method of controlling wild cane [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in corn ( Zea mays L.) was with a combination of cultivation plus herbicides. Timely cultivations were equally or more effective than preplant herbicides in controlling wild cane, but neither method was adequate by itself. The best herbicide in this study for the control of wild cane in corn was S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) alone or in combination with (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D) or 2-chloro-4,6-bis-(ethylamino)- s -triazine (simazine). Residual effects of simazine at 4 lb/A in the soil reduced the yield of the following oats ( Avena sativa L.) crop 1 out of 3 years.
