Refer to the label for plantback times for rotational crops. One weed control strategy is to apply benefin before planting followed by a treatment of pronamide at planting to greatly extend the spectrum of weed control. However, this combination also severely limits rotational crop alternatives. A combination of bensulide and pronamide as a preemergence application enhances the control of pigweed, lambsquarters, and nettleleaf goosefoot during warm season plantings. This application eliminates the need for soil incorporation and is effective under sprinkler irrigation systems.
Effectiveness is reduced when grasses are under moisture stress.
Later growth stages of annual grasses are more difficult to control. The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
