Kochia populations with multiple resistance to glyphosate and dicamba are an increasing concern for growers in the High Plains region, including Kansas. A field study was conducted at the Kansas State University Agricultural Research Center near Hays, KS, to evaluate and develop herbicide options for controlling glyphosate-and dicamba-resistant kochia in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean. The study site was uniformly infested with a glyphosate-and dicamba-resistant kochia population prior to soybean planting. Fifteen herbicide treatments (programs), including PRE alone and PRE followed by (fb) POSTapplied herbicides, were investigated in a randomized complete block design with four replications. All PRE treatments included Roundup PowerMax for control of other weed species. Results indicated that a single PRE application of Spartan alone or with Engenia, Panther PRO, and Zidua plus Valor SX provided season-long control of glyphosate-and dicamba-resistant kochia. A single PRE application of Engenia or Zidua alone only provided 70 to 78% kochia control at 6 weeks after POST (WAPOST) application. However, PRE-applied Zidua alone or with Engenia, Engenia alone, Spartan + Zidua, and Spartan + Sencor followed by a sequential POST application of a tank-mixture containing Engenia and Roundup PowerMax provided ≥ 95% kochia control at 6 WAPOST. Kochia biomass reduction was > 92% with a majority of the treatments; exceptions were Zidua PRE alone (59% reduction), Engenia alone (76% reduction), and Zidua + Engenia (88% reduction) treatments. Soybean grain yield for a majority of the tested treatments did not differ, and ranged from 23 to 25 bu/a. These results suggest that effective PRE herbicide options are available for managing glyphosate-and dicamba-resistant kochia in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
