Abstract:
Projects evaluated the potential of controlling hairy nightshade with tankmixes of ethofumesate
and s-metolachlor and determined table beet tolerance to s-metolachlor in a commercial
production system. Hairy nightshade control with Dual Magnum improved nearly linearly as the
rate of Dual Magnum increased. Hairy nightshade control improved significantly when Dual
Magnum was tankmixed with Ethotron, and the increase in efficacy was most apparent with
Ethotron tankmixed at 15 and 30 oz/A. In a commercial field, Dual Magnum significantly
improved weed control, but may have reduced yield where irrigation was excessive.
