ABSTRACT
The evaluation of the effects of grass and broadleaf weed control with different mixture rates of mesotrione plus nicosulfuron with methylated rapeseed oil and urea-ammonium nitrate liquid fertilizer (UAN) applied postemergence in maize was conducted
in field experiments during the agricultural seasons of 2006, 2007 and 2008. Contact angle and surface tension were measured for all
tank-mix solutions. There was no phytotoxicity observed on maize following the application of the herbicide-plus-additives treatment. Reduced rates of herbicide with additives provided similar control levels of
Echinochloa crus-galli
(L.) Beauv. as mesotrione used
alone. The tank-mix of herbicides and adjuvants gave no antagonistic effect and it increased weed control. Plots treated with a reduced
rate of tank-mix with additives, were always among the highest yielding as compared to untreated plots. Any reductions in cob and
grain yield were associated with high weed fresh matter yields, indicating that it was the competition with weeds that led to a reduction in the maize grain yield and not the herbicide phytotoxicity
.
