Abstract
Growth chamber and greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate effects of long-term low-light intensity on wild oat control with imazamethabenz and fenoxaprop. Seventy percent shading imposed during the entire experimental period resulted in enhanced activities for both herbicides applied at early and later growth stages. Such shading also reduced wild oat regrowth following application of imazamethabenz and fenoxaprop. When applied to plants exposed to 70 to 90% prespraying shading, both herbicides had phytotoxicity similar to, or better, than plants grown under continuous shading. Postspraying shading has less effect on herbicidal activity than prespraying shading or prolonged shading, especially with imazamethabenz. Full-light treatment more adversely affected fenoxaprop activity than imazamethabenz activity.
