The success of no-tillage corn (Zea mays L.) planted into sod in the Southeast depends on control of warm-season perennials. Preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicides were evaluated for control of warm-season perennial and annual species in no-tillage corn production. Vegetation spectrum differences at the various locations influenced both herbicide rate and timing of application required for 90% control by imazapyr {(±)-2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid}, imazethapyr {2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1 H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-ethyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid}, glufosinate [2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl) butanoic acid], or imazapyr + imazethapyr. Imazapyr controlled established bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus L.), johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.], tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum Poir.) in all instances. Several herbicides were used in selected combinations for PRE and/or POST applications in discrete rate trials. These were imazapyr, imazethapyr, glufosinate, imazapyr + imazethapyr, paraquat (1, 1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion), atrazine [6-chloro-N-ethyl-N ¹-(1-methyethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine], and glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine]. The glufosinate-resistant corn hybrid in 1997 at Holly Springs, MS, with glyphosate PRE at 0.84 kg a.i. ha⁻¹ followed by glufosinate POST (28 DAP) at 0.45 kg ha⁻¹ produced a maximum yield of 10.2 Mg ha⁻¹ Results from this study indicate that vegetation can be controlled for corn production in untilled sod comprised of warm-season perennials when transgenic hybrids are grown.
