Abstract

Glyphosate and SC-0224, at rates that control dodder (75 to 150 g ae ba–1), injured flowers, caused flowers to abscise, and sometimes reduced seed yields when applied to alfalfa when buds or blooms were present. Glyphosate at 75 or 150 g ha–1 did not injure flowers, impair seed set, or reduce yield or quality of seed when applied to alfalfa foliage before the bud stage.
