Field studies were conducted in weed free areas of south Texas from 1994 to
1997 to evaluate various postemergence (POST) herbicides for sesame tolera
nce and effects on yield. Sethoxydim or fluazifop-P caused no injury to ses
ame and produced yields comparable with the untreated check. Acifluorfen, i
mazapic, imazethapyr, and 2,4-DB reduced sesame yield when compared with th
e untreated check at two of five locations. Bromoxynil and bentazon reduced
sesame plant height at two locations but has no effect on yield. (C) 2001
