SETHOXYDIM AND BROADLEAF HERBICIDE INTERACTION EFFECTS ON ANNUAL GRASS CONTROL IN PEANUTS (ARACHIS-HYPOGAEA)

Control of Texas panicum and southern crabgrass with sethoxydim was reduced under field conditions when bentazon, acifluorfen, bentazon + acifluorfen, pyridate, or naptalam plus 2,4-DB was added. The addition of lactofen to sethoxydim did not result in antagonism. Complete control of annual grasses did not appear to be a necessity in order to improve peanut yields. Peanut yields in plots with 70 to 80% control of annual grasses were comparable to those where annual grass control was 99%.
