Preemergence Herbicide Combinations for Onion Weed Control

Most herbicides applied alone preemergence (PREE) caused minimal crop injury (<10%) when furrow irrigated. Pendimethalin (Prowl) applied at 0.5 lb AI/A plus bensulide (Prefar) at 6.0 lb AI/A under sprinkler irrigation in Tolleson caused crop injury that was highly unacceptable and the crop stand was severely reduced. Onion yields were significantly reduced for the Prowl plus Prefar treatments. Prowl at 0.25 or 0.5 lb AI/A alone provided very good (>90%) weed control of all weeds. Combination treatments of Prowl plus other herbicides provided very good weed control but did not offer enhanced control of weeds already controlled by Prowl alone. The combinations of ethofumesate (Nortron) with metolachlor (Dual) or dimethenamid (Frontier) gave improved weed control compared to when either was applied alone.
