Abstract

Diuron, fluorochloridone, hexazinone, metribuzin, norflurazon, oryzalin, prodiamine, simazine, and terbacil controlled seedling asparagus planted in sprinkler-irrigated plots similarly (>89%). In furrow-irrigated plots, cinmethylin, diuron, fluorochloridone, hexazinone, napropamide, oryzalin, and prodiamine provided similar control (>86%) of planted seedling asparagus. Herbicides with high water solubilities that depended upon root uptake for maximum activity tended to control seedling asparagus better in sprinkler-irrigated tests than in furrow-irrigated tests. Fluorochloridone, norflurazon, and prodiamine provided partial control of volunteer asparagus (48 to 84%) in an established stand of furrow-irrigated asparagus.
