Abstract and summary

The preemergence herbicide N, N-dimethyl-2, 2-diphenylacetamide (diphenamid) alone and in combination with the contact herbicides 1,1′-dimethyl-4, 4′-bipyridinium salt (paraquat) and 3, 4-dichloropropionanilide (propanil) was studied over three years. Application at planting and crop emergence (delayed preemergence) were compared. Weed control and crop tolerance were equally effective at either stage in tomatoes. Delayed preemergence applications of contact materials alone were erratic as herbicides but were more effective in peppers than in tomatoes. At emergence, combinations were more effective. Selectivity of propanil lessened when the cotyledons of tomato expanded fully.
