Abstract

Field experiments were conducted at five locations in Colorado, Kansas, and Wyoming in 1994–1995 and 1995–1996 to compare the effects of MON 37500 rate and application timings on downy brome control and winter wheat tolerance. MON 37500 at 18 to 35 g ha−1 applied preemergence or fall postemergence reduced downy brome density 71 to 92% in 1995. Spring-applied MON 37500 suppressed downy brome growth but did not reduce plant density. No application reduced downy brome density in 1996. At each location, downy brome was controlled best by MON 37500 applied preemergence or fall postemergence at 35 g ha−1. MON 37500 did not affect wheat height at Archer or Torrington, WY, and Burlington or Stratton, CO, but wheat treated preemergence or fall postemergence was taller than untreated wheat at Hays, KS, in 1995. Spring-postemergence-treated wheat at Hays in 1995 was shorter than untreated, preemergence-, or fall-postemergence-treated wheat. Wheat head density did not differ among treated and untreated plots at Torrington, but herbicide treatment increased wheat yields. Wheat head density increased with all MON 37500 treatments at Hays in 1995, as did yield. However, preemergence and fall-postemergence applications resulted in the highest wheat yields. No herbicide treatment affected head density or yield at Hays in 1996.
