Abstract and summary

In greenhouse studies, Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.] seedlings were killed when the first internode passed through treated soil. Shoots from rhizomes were not killed, but lateral root development was inhibited on that stem portion in contact with treated soil. Trifluralin may control Johnsongrass seedlings, but it is not likely that it will be useful in the control of established stands.
