Weed control and crop tolerance to herbicides in conventional-till dry pea (Minot 2004).
Majoret dry pea was direct seeded April 26 into wheat stubble at 120 lb/A into 7.5-inch rows. Individual plots were 10 x 30 ft and replicated three times. Preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicides were applied May 4 and June 17, respectively. The study was conducted on a loam soil with pH 4.7 and OM 3.1%. The primary weeds present were green and yellow foxtail (Fxtl), redroot pigweed (Rrpw), and wild buckwheat (wibw).
None of the treatments significantly reduced crop density compared to the untreated. There was minimal injury from Spartan even at the higher rates. Sencor + Sonalan and Basagran caused moderate visible crop injury, there was no significant yield reduction from any treatment. However, there was wide variability in yield between reps due, in part, to dry conditions in early May and a hail storm on June 6 that may have caused significant crop injury. Even though there was no statistical difference in yield, there was a trend for higher yield in the treatments containing Spartan.
Spartan + Select provided excellent control of foxtail, pigweed, and wild buckwheat. Prowl followed by Raptor provided good control as well. Spartan treatments generally provided 10-20% better control of wild buckwheat than other treatments. Foxtail control was slightly better with treatments containing Select compared to other treatments.
bTreflan was applied at 2 pt/A PPI followed by Select plus COC at 5oz/A + 1% v/v POST to aid handweeding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
