All herbicide treatments with the exception of atrazine + bromoxynil included ammonium sulfate at the rate of 3.9 kg/378 L.
2Agridex at 1.0% v/v added to all treatments at Yoakum while R-11 at 0.25% was added to all treatments at Lubbock.
3Abbreviations: EP (early postemergence), grain sorghum 5 to 10 cm tall; MP (mid postemergence), grain sorghum 30 to 41 cm tall.
4Rating scale, 0: no chlorosis or stunting, 100: plant death. Chlorosis and stunting ratings taken 10 days after herbicide application.
