Effect of Herbicide Mixtures and Seeding Rate on Soft Red Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Yield

Abstract

A mixture of 2,4-D with either thiameturon, DPX-L5300, or DPX-R9674 controlled common chickweed in winter wheat better than 2,4-D alone. None of these herbicides affected wheat height, lodging, or yield. Similarly, no significant differences in wheat height or lodging occurred among seeding rates. Wheat sown near South Charleston, OH, at a seeding rate of 67 kg/ha yielded significantly less than that sown at 100 or 134 kg/ha; however, there was no difference in wheat yield among seedling rates at a second location near Columbus, OH.
