USE OF HERBICIDE SAFENERS IN SEED CORN PRODUCTION

Weed control efficacy and crop selectivity of herbicides and herbicide -safener mixtures in corn seed production have been comparatively inve stigated in the field. Experiments with 12 corn inbred lines and 12 hy brids in two soils indicate that highest corn yields with dependable c ontrol of weeds and negligible crop injury can be achieved by using he rbicides containing safened thiolcarbamate and chloroacetanilide activ e ingredients.
