Volunteer canola control in corn (2004)

 

Corn was seeded May 18 into 30-inch rows.  Canola was seeded over the top to simulate a volunteer canola (VC) situation.  Individual plots were 10 x 30 ft and replicated 3 times.  Herbicide treatments were applied preemergence (PRE), 3-leaf canola, and 6-leaf canola on May 18, June 18, and June 28, respectively.

 

In corn, soil-applied Balance Pro provided excellent VC control.  Postemergence herbicides Steadfast, Accent, and Option provided excellent VC control at both application timings.  VC control with Callisto and and Distinct dropped 12-13% with the 6-leaf application, while control with 2,4-D amine dropped 43%.  Atrazine and Starane provided very little control at either application stage.  We conducted a follow-up study in the fall and found that Starane caused 20-50% injury applied at 0.33-0.67 pt.  We are not sure why Starane caused little injury in the first study.
