Abstract

If there was no heavy rainfall or surface irrigation before corn emergence, as ethyl-N,N-di-n-propylthiolcarbamate (EPTC) at 3 lb/A was incorporated deeper into the soil, more corn plants were injured, the height of plants was reduced, and a loss in weight or yield occurred, although the germination of the corn seed was not affected. Implements used to incorporate EPTC did not produce significantly different amounts of corn injury where used at the same depth.
