Abstract

The effect of two commonly used desiccant tank mixtures on Glycine max seed production and viability when applied at G. max growth stages R5 to R8 (R5 = beginning pod fill, R6 = full green pod, R7 = beginning maturity, R8 = full maturity) was evaluated. Two mid-Group IV G. max cultivars, one conventional (‘Northrup King 4260’) and one glyphosate-tolerant (‘Asgrow 4701RR’), were evaluated. Tank mixtures containing either glyphosate + sodium chlorate or paraquat + sodium chlorate + surfactant reduced yield, seed weight, and subsequent germination, emergence, and seedling growth when applied at R5 or R6 to either G. max cultivar. Glyphosate + sodium chlorate applied at R7 reduced germination of the glyphosate-tolerant cultivar. When applied at R6 or R7, glyphosate + sodium chlorate reduced the next generation's seedling length compared to paraquat + sodium chlorate. Glyphosate + sodium chlorate increased the number of abnormal seedlings produced in the conventional cultivar compared to paraquat + sodium chlorate. These results indicate that preharvest desiccant applications should not be made prior to G. max maturity (R7).
