Greenhouse trials were conducted during 2005 to investigate the effect of soil applied herbicides on jimsonweed (Datura stramonium) sown at 4 and 7 cm, and potential maize crop injury by the same herbicides. Efficacy of all investigated herbicides was excellent, regardless of the depth, and generally coefficient of efficacy ranged between 95.8 to 100.0% to all herbicides. Many of the herbicides had no significant phytotoxic effect on maize plant density, height and fresh weight, except Atranex -90WDG and Cyatral-SCZ, which caused serious maize injury (33% and 37%, respectively) at 7 cm depth. This injury significantly reduced height and fresh weight of maize at the same depth.
