Response of food and forage crops to soil-applied imazapyr
1998
Bovey, R.W. | Senseman, S.A.
Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the persistence of imazapyr and the tolerance of a wide variety of bioassay plants to imazapyr residues in central Texas soils. Eleven bioassay crops were planted in pots 1 d before and 2, 6, and 12 mo after imazapyr application at rates of 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.07, 0.14, 0.28, 0.56, and 1.12 kg ai h-1. Imazapyr was phytotoxic 12 mo after treatment to all crop plants in at least one rate. Forage grasses and herbs were highly susceptible to imazapyr residual carryover damage, as was corn and cabbage. Bean and squash were to tolerant of imazapyr residues. No statistical differences occurred in imazapyr phytotoxicity to corn grown in leached vs. nonleached pots.
