Weed scientist questions
dinoseb effect on com
GEORGETOWN, Del. -
Several years ago the
growth stimulant dinoseb
, >ceiV' ! a hit of publii.il
a possible to ooost corn
yields. A number of
Delaware farmers even paid
to have the compound ap
plied by air to their fields.
University of Delaware
weed scientist David Regehr
was concerned about the
inconsistency of reports
coming out of the Midwest at
that time (1977) on the ef
fects of this chemical on
yields.
He also wanted to see
whether environmental
factors such as water stress
might influence the per
formance of com treated
with the growth stimulant.

of dmoseb at the
Li . sitv’s Agricultural
Experiment station. His
report on that study was
recently completed.
During the 1977, 1978, and
1979 growing seasons, the
weed scientist compared the 1
effects of applied at
the rate of one-fifth ounce
per acre on several full
season corn hybrids—
growth with and without
irrigation.

was an average 66 percent
yield increase due to
irrigation. Treatment with
dinoseb had no significant
effect on yields in 1977.
In 1978 and 1979, gram
yields m dinoseb treated
plots were reduced an
average of 18 percent.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 19,1980—C35
Only m one of the three
years was there any notable
difference between irrigated
and ummgated plots in their
response to dinoseb. In that
case, the result was more
yield reduction in irrigated
com than in dry com.
Regehr noted a strong
trend toward reduced ear fill
m both irrigated and dry
com treated with dinoseb. A
comparison of grain yield
with total above-the-ground
plant weight suggested that
the growth stimulant
somehow interfered with the
plant’s reproductive system.
Commenting on these
results, the scientist says
growers should be cautious
about jumping on the band
wagon for every new product
that comes along—
especially materials that
haven’t been subjected to
rigorous and repeated field
trials under a variety of
growing conditions.
In his own study, Regehr
used six replications each of
the three years involved.
This means the study was
similar to running one
comparison a year for 18
years, or to 18 different
fanners doing the same test
in the same year.

out, and don’t accept it,’-
simply on the basis of a
single trial or someone’s
testimonial,’’ advises
Regehr.
“Check with as many
people as possible to see
what results they’re getting.
This helps you reduce the
element of chance in the
response that you see in your
own field.”
Before deciding whether
or not to invest in a new
product in the hopes that it
will increase yields, it’s also
a good idea to see how your
observations compare with
reported research on the
product.
According to Donald F.
Crossan, dean of the
University of Delaware
College of Agricultural
Delaware Agricultural
Sciences and director of the
Experiment Station, every
new product deserves this
kind of thorough evaluation
under Delaware growing
conditions.
Unfortunately, state and
federal monies are not
always adequate to the task
and we must rely on private
sources to extend these vital
efforts on the farmers’
behalf.
