Abstract

Volunteer corn is often a recurrent weed infesting RR soybean fields. The control of volunteer corn is usually based on the application of ACCase inhibitors, where good control is often achieved in post-emergence applications. However, the antagonistic interactions between ACCase inhibitors and growth regulators tank-mixtures are well reported in the literature. This issue is relevant considering the widespread adoption of dicamba-tolerant soybean in the US, where clethodim + dicamba tank-mixture applications are a common practice among farmers.
