Abstract

Field studies were conducted in 1987 and 1988 to evaluate the vegetative response of soybeans to early postemergence applications of lactofen and to measure crop recovery. Soybean injury 4 d after treatment (DAT) averaged 29 and 34% with 0.22 and 0.44 kg ai ha−1 of lactofen, respectively. Severity of leaf injury depended on leaf size at the time of lactofen application. Leaf area of soybean trifoliates one through three were reduced 30 to 45% at 12 DAT but recovered by 26 DAT. Later emerging trifoliates were not affected. Fresh weights of lactofen-treated soybeans were less than those of untreated plants 4, 8, and 16 DAT, and dry weights were less at 16 and 26 DAT. Lactofen reduced stomatal conductance of expanded leaves but had no effect on unexpanded leaves. Soybean yields did not differ with lactofen treatment.
