Abstract

Palmer amaranth control was best when Cinch was applied preemergence (PRE) fol­lowed by Zest plus atrazine postemergence (POST) or when Cinch ATZ was applied early postemergence (EPOST) with Zest and atrazine. Most herbicides provided excellent crabgrass control. Shattercane control was excellent with all herbicides except Cinch ATZ applied PRE. Minor sorghum stunting was observed with some treatments three days after application, but sorghum had completely recovered within one week. Herbicide-treated grain sorghum yielded 48 to 93 bu/a more grain than untreated sorghum. Sorghum yields were best when Cinch or Cinch ATZ was applied PRE followed by Zest and atrazine POST, or when Cinch ATZ was applied with Zest and atrazine EPOST.
