Abstract

The tolerance of two proso millet cultivars to atrazine preemergence and postemergence applications of bromoxynil, clopyralid, dicamba, or metsulfuron plus amine formulations of 2,4-D was studied in the field. Proso millet grain yield, test weight, seed weight, moisture content, and plant height at harvest were not affected by any of the herbicide treatments, despite some early-season injury observed in 1990.
