Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff farm near Lonoke, AR, in 2007 and 2008 to evaluate the effects of sublethal rates of glufosinate on three glyphosate‐resistant soybean cultivars. Applications were 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8× the labeled rate of glufosinate at 0.55 lb/acre applied to soybean at three growth stages (V3, R1, and R5). Soybean response to glufosinate was visible 1 to 2 days following all applications and was detrimental to soybean yield. Symptoms from glufosinate consisted mainly of rapid necrosis of leaf tissue with little to no regrowth. Yield reductions ranged from 11 to 91%, depending on rate and soybean growth stage at application. Soybean cultivars responded similarly to glufosinate with some minor exceptions. Soybean was less sensitive to glufosinate when applied at the R1 growth stage than at V3 and R5 growth stages. Height reductions at harvest were the greatest at harvest when glufosinate was applied at the V3 growth stage. Soybean maturity was delayed only 2 to 5 days, regardless of glufosinate rate or soybean growth stage at application. Glufosinate applied at the 1/2× rate was the most detrimental to yield, regardless of timing. Yield data trends were consistent with the level of injury observed.
