Abstract

Undesirable stands of hybrid corn often result in a decision to replant; removal of the initial corn is recommended to reduce competition for available resources. Because much of the hybrid corn is glyphosate-resistant (GR), the particular herbicide and timing for control is challenging. No-till field trials were established in central and northeast Missouri in 2009 and 2010 to determine the efficacy of glufosinate POST in glufosinate-resistant corn or imazethapyr plus imazapyr POST in imidazolinone-resistant corn for the control of GR corn. Separate blocks of glufosinate-resistant and imidazolinone-resistant corn were planted in 76 cm rows, with GR corn established between rows at densities of 1 (low) and 4 (high) plants m−2. Herbicides were broadcast at corn heights of 10, 20, and 40 cm. Visual estimates of control rated 5 wk after treatment were highest for the 20 cm application height, ranging from 81 to 84% and 72 to 79% with glufosinate or imazethapyr plus imazapyr, respectively. Control was unacceptable at 10 and 40 cm, ranging from 26 to 62% and 24 to 83%. Dry weights per plant indicated that applications at all heights reduced GR corn biomass a minimum of 94 and 82% with glufosinate or imazethapyr plus imazapyr, respectively. Although control of GR corn with single applications of glufosinate and imazethapyr plus imazapyr was unacceptable for two of three application heights, reductions in corn biomass indicate applications were effective.

Establecimientos indeseables de maíz híbrido muchas veces resultan en la decisión de replantar; se recomienda eliminar el maíz inicial para reducir la competencia por los recursos disponibles. Debido a que mucho del maíz híbrido es resistente a glyphosate (GR), es un desafío determinar el herbicida específico y el momento de aplicación para el control. Experimentos en campos con cero labranza se realizaron en el centro y noreste de Missouri en 2009 y 2010, para determinar la eficacia en el control de maíz GR de glufosinate POST en maíz resistente a este herbicida o imazethapyr más imazapyr POST en maíz resistente a herbicidas imidazolinone. Bloques separados de maíz resistente a glufosinate y maíz resistente a imidazolinone se sembraron en líneas distanciadas a 76 cm, con maíz GR establecido entre líneas a densidades de 1 (baja) y 4 (alta) plantas m−2. Los herbicidas se rociaron cuando el maíz alcanzó alturas de 10, 20 y 40 cm. Las estimaciones visuales de control más altas, hechas 5 semanas después del tratamiento, fueron para aplicaciones a los 20 cm de altura, variando de 81 a 84% y de 72 a 79% con glufosinate o imazethapyr más imazapyr, respectivamente. El control fue inaceptable a los 10 y 40 cm, variando de 26 a 62% y de 24 a 83%. Los pesos secos por planta indicaron que las aplicaciones a todas las alturas redujeron la biomasa del maíz GR un mínimo de 94 y 82% con glufosinate o imazethapyr más imazapyr, respectivamente. Aunque el control de maíz GR con una sola aplicación de glufosinate e imazethapyr más imazapyr fue inaceptable para dos de las tres alturas de aplicación, las reducciones en la biomasa del maíz indican que las aplicaciones fueron efectivas.
