Abstract

Experiments were conducted from 1988 through 1991 to evaluate the effectiveness of imazethapyr alone and in combination with metolachlor for control of yellow and purple nutsedge. Imazethapyr alone at 0.07 kg ha–1 controlled yellow nutsedge irregularly while the addition of metolachlor greatly improved control. Metolachlor preplant incorporated (PPI) followed by imazethapyr at ground-crack (GC) or postemergence (POST) controlled 72 to 96% of yellow nutsedge, whereas a tank-mix of metolachlor plus imazethapyr PPI controlled 85 to 96%. The addition of metolachlor to imazethapyr did not result in any improvement in control of purple nutsedge. Metolachlor plus imazethapyr PPI controlled ≥ 85% of purple nutsedge PPI, whereas imazethapyr POST controlled ≥ 94%.
