Abstract

Corn hybrids and inbreds were ranked for their relative tolerance to soil-incorporated clomazone, as assessed by the level of discoloration injury in the greenhouse. Inbred W117 was the most tolerant corn line tested. Some corn lines were affected similarly by clomazone. Inbred A619 was in the most susceptible group. Clomazone injury to A619 (susceptible) and W117 (tolerant) corn was similar when the clomazone rate was 10-fold greater on W117 than on A619. The distribution of corn lines on a sensitivity scale was of limited range; the distribution of hybrids on this scale was a single symmetrical peak. Changing the growth temperature or soil composition would change the absolute level of corn injury caused by a rate of clomazone but did not change the relative ranking of the corn lines in the test. A subset of the greenhouse-tested corn lines also was evaluated in several field locations. The tolerance of corn in a given field was highly (P<0.005) correlated with tolerance in the greenhouse; however, the absolute levels of injury differed among locations. The tolerance of- hybrids of known pedigree was highly (P<0.0002) correlated with the tolerance of the parent inbreds, indicating this trait was inherited.
