Abstract

Field studies were conducted to identify herbicides suitable for improved control of hairy nightshade, redroot pigweed, and common lambsquarters in pinto beans. Fomesafen at 0.25 kg ai ha-1 did not adequately control these weeds. Clomazone at 0.5 kg ai ha-1 controlled common lambsquarters but only suppressed the growth of redroot pigweed and hairy nightshade. Ethalfluralin at 0.84 to 1.1 kg ai ha-1 gave excellent initial control of these weeds but did not control later flushes of hairy nightshade. Imazethapyr applied PPI or POST at 50 to 75 g ai ha-1 controlled hairy nightshade, redroot pigweed, and common lambsquarters throughout the growing season. Imazethapyr combined with ethalfluralin gave superior weed control and resulted in greater yields than the most commonly used herbicides in pinto beans in western Canada.
