Studies on the Timing of Application, Soil Activity, and Factors Affecting Soil Activity of Several Selective Grass Herbicides (Sethoxydim, Fluazifop-Butyl, Haloxyfop-Methyl)

Field studies on the management of postemergence grass herbicides were conducted. No reduction in soybean yield occurred as a result of up to 5 weeks of early grass competition. Delayed treatment of sethoxydim (10-15 cm stage) especially when planting early provided the best grass control by allowing for maximum foxtail germination. Results indicated potential benefit resulting from residual activity following postemergence treatment when treating early, particularly when planting soybeans early.
