Abstract

Postemergence applications of flufenprop-methyl [methyl-N-benzoyl-N (3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2-amino-propionate] for wild oat (Avena fatua L.) control in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), durum wheat (Triticum durum L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were evaluated in the field, greenhouse, and controlled environmental chambers. Wild oat control with flufenprop-methyl was greater at the five-leaf stage than three and one-half or two-leaf stage of growth. Wild oat control was not reduced when flufenprop-methyl was tank-mixed with bentazon [3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-(4) 3H-one, 2,2-dioxide]. Tolerance of spring and durum wheat cultivars to flufenprop-methyl was acceptable; however, tolerance of barley cultivars was considerably more variable. Air temperature after treatment, soil fertility, and moisture did not influence wild oat control with flufenprop-methyl; however, a simulated rainfall of 1 mm within 1/2 h or 4 mm within 4 h after application reduced wild oat control.
