Abstract

Sicklepod seed production and germination were evaluated in density and weed-free period studies without herbicide treatment and after imazaquin or metribuzin plus chlorimuron were applied PRE in soybean. Neither herbicide nor sicklepod density affected sicklepod seed germination, but delaying emergence of sicklepod from 0 wk to 8 wk after soybean emergence reduced subsequent sicklepod seed germination from 92% to 48%. Increasing sicklepod density from two to eight plants per row m reduced sicklepod seeds per plant, but increased sicklepod seeds per m2, regardless of herbicide. Extending the weed-free period from 0 to 8 wk reduced sicklepod seeds per plant and seeds per m2. Imazaquin and chlorimuron plus metribuzin reduced sicklepod seeds per m2 more than 50% at 0 or 2 wk weed-free intervals, compared with nontreated plants at these same intervals.
