Field studies were conducted to study the interaction of sethoxydim or fluazifop-P with clopyralid and/or ethametsulfuron applied as tank mixtures to canola. Control of the indicator species barley, broadbean, and wild mustard with the tank mixtures was comparable to, or sometimes better than, that attained with each herbicide alone. Canola tolerated all herbicides applied individually and all tank mixtures of these herbicides except fluazifop-P and ethametsulfuron. Tank mixtures of fluazifop-P and ethametsulfuron, with or without clopyralid included in the mixture, suppressed early growth of canola in two of four tests and reduced seed yield in one. Sethoxydim, clopyralid, and ethametsulfuron combined in tank mixtures provide an effective POST alternative for selective control of grass and broadleaf weeds in canola.

Few postemergence (POST) herbicides are available for broad-spectrum weed control in pea. Field experiments were conducted to determine the suitability of imazamox to provide selective control of grass and broadleaf weeds in pea. Imazamox controlled several grass and broadleaf species, but the rate required to attain 90% control ranged from 7 to 36 g ai/ha depending on the weed species. Imazamox efficacy differed with the adjuvant included in the spray mixture. Merge adjuvant often increased imazamox activity on weeds more than Sun-It II methylated seed oil or a combination of Agral 90 adjuvant plus 28–0–0 liquid fertilizer. Pea exhibited excellent tolerance to imazamox up to the highest rate applied, 40 g/ha. Pea yield comparable to that of the hand-weeded control was attained with 20 to 30 g/ha of imazamox. Imazamox offers growers a POST option for broad-spectrum weed control in pea.
