Efficacy and Metabolism of Benazolin and Its Interactions With Acifluorfen, Bentazon, 2,4-Db, and Mcpa

The purposes of this study were to determine the efficacy of using benazolin (4-chloro-2-oxobenzothiazolin-3-ylacetic acid), both alone and in combination with acifluorfen (sodium 5-{2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-phenoxy}-2-nitrobenzoate) bentazon {3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2 dioxide}, MCPA ({(4-chloro-o-toyly)oxy}acetic acid), or 2,4-DB {4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butanoic acid} for postemergence broadleaf weed control in soybeans {Glycine max (L.) Merr.}; to compare benazolin activity to auxin activity; and to study benazolin metabolism in resistant/tolerant and susceptible plant species.
