Research

Mesotrione is a selective herbicide used for preemergence and postemergence weed control in corn. A better understanding of the interactions between mesotrione and soil insecticides is needed to avoid risk of serious corn injury. The objectives of this research were: (i) to characterize the interaction of mesotrione and soil-applied insecticides in the field; and (ii) to determine the effect of insecticide, application method, and application rate on corn injury from mesotrione.
