Abstract and summary

Disking, relisting, cultivation and no repreparation were employed in repreparing for planting seedbeds that had received preemergence treatment with 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)1,1-dimethylurea (diuron). Only the relisting method of seedbed repreparation appeared hazardous with respect to crop injury from herbicidal residues. Retreatment with diuron tended to increase injury symptoms in replanted cotton but yields were not significantly reduced by retreatment. Early-season weed competition, preventable by preemergence treatment, appeared to be more hazardous to yields than slight to moderate herbicidal injury to the cotton. Cotton replanted on plots treated once or treated twice significantly outyielded that on untreated plots in one of the two years in which all plots were replanted.
