Here’s an update on 1981 herbicide use
SALISBURY, Md. - Now is the
tune for crop fanners to take in
ventory in their agnchemical
storage rooms, says Ronald L.
Ritter, Extension week control
specialist and assistant professor
of agronomy at the University of
Maryland.
“You may not need to order as
much herbicide this spring as you
think,” Dr. Ritter declares. “If
properly stored and still in good
condition, many partially empty
containers can probably supply
significant amounts of ‘tried and
true’ chemical materials which
will do an adequate job of weed
control under normal cir
cumstances.
“Plan to buy the newer, often
more expensive herbicides only for
fields where you have special
problems, such as tnazme
resistant pigweed.’’
Ritter spoke Wednesday during
the first annual Delmarva Com
and Soybean Technology Con
ference at the Wicomico Youth and
Civic Center in Salisbury.
He shared the platform with two
professional colleagues from
Delaware and Virginia on the
topic, “Com and Soybean Cultural
Practice and Tillage Update.”
An AAtrex (atrazine) and
Pnncep combination still provides
a good, economical pre-emergent
treatment for broad spectrum
weed control in most cornfields,
Ritter said. However, if tnazme-

resistant pigweed is a problem in a
particular field, you may have to
switch to a newer chemical like
Dual for pre-emergent application
and, possible, Banvel for post
emergency treatment.
Likewise, the familiar Lasso and
Lorox combination will do a good
job of pre-emergent weed control
in soyybeans, if you still have some
on hand. If post-emergence weed
control becomes necessary, use
one of the newer chemicals like
Blazer.
The flood-jet nozzles often used"
with pre-emergent herbicides are
not suitable for use with Blazer.
Instead, use flat-fan nozzles for
better spray distribution. And
spray at a rate of 20 gallons of
liquid per acre with a sprayer
pressure of 40 pounds or more per
square inch.
Still in the experimental stage is
a program for applying Surflan m
wheat fields to help control grassy
weeds affecting double-cropped
soybeans which follow in the same
growing season.
Under the present system, Ritter
explained, some grasses ger
minate before the small gram is
harvested; and they get too tall for
control by the chemical treatment
normally applied just prior to
stubble-planting of soybeans m
early summer.
Hoelon is another new product
for week control in soybeans. It
