Abstract

Diethatyl [N-(chloroacetyl)-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) glycine] applied posttransplant in peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) but preemergence to hairy galinsoga [Galinsoga ciliata (Raf.) Blake # GASCI] controlled the weed at 1.7 to 2.2 kg ai/ha. No serious crop injury or yield reduction was observed when diethatyl was applied to peppers at 9 kg/ha posttransplant or at bloom. Soil ridging, practiced to improve drainage and control the crown rot phase of Phytophthora blight (Phytophthora capsici L.), limited the duration of weed control by disrupting the herbicide-treated surface soil and exposing untreated soil. Diethatyl applied at 2.2 kg/ha posttransplant and again at pepper bloom, after the soil ridges were formed, controlled hairy galinsoga throughout the entire growing and harvest season.
