Saflufenacil is a new herbicide being developed for pre-plant burndown for non-selective removal of broadleaf weeds and pre-emergence (PRE) broadleaf weed control in field crops, including maize, soybean, sorghum and wheat. As part of studying the potential use pattern of this herbicide, four field studies were conducted in 2006 and 2007 at Concord, northeast Nebraska, to determine winter wheat tolerance to PRE and post-emergence (POST) applications of saflufenacil. The fall POST applications were conducted at the 2–3 leaf stage (5 cm height) whereas the spring POST and tank-mixes studies were sprayed at the 4th node stage (40 cm height) of crop. Dose-response curves based on log-logistic model were used to determine the ED (effective dose) values of saflufenacil for visual ratings of crop injury and relative yield. There was no crop injury or yield reduction with PRE applied saflufenacil dose of up to 400 g a.i. ha−1. However, there was significant crop injury in the POST applications in the fall (up to 95%) and in the spring (up to 67%). There was also yield reduction of as much as 66% in the fall and 58% in the spring POST applications. Addition of adjuvants also increased crop injury levels. For example, at 14 days after treatment in the fall applications, about 5% visual crop injury (ED5) was evident with 82, 67 and 10 g a.i. ha−1 of saflufenacil compared with 51, 30 and 11 g a.i. ha−1 in the spring, with no adjuvant, or non-ionic surfactant (NIS), or crop oil concentrate (COC), respectively. Saflufenacil at half the proposed used dose of 25 g a.i. ha−1 was safe to mix with the currently used POST herbicides of wheat with no visible crop injury and yield reduction. PRE applications of saflufenacil would be safe for use in winter wheat; however, the POST application of saflufenacil alone or with the adjuvant NIS or COC produces unacceptable injury and yield loss. These results are similar to the proposed PRE use pattern of saflufenacil. In addition, the proposed label does not suggest the POST use of saflufenacil in winter wheat, or any other cereal crops, which is similar to what we have concluded from this study.
