Response by some tropical pasture legumes to vernolate

Abstract

In pot experiments silverleaf desmodium (Desmodium uncinatum), greenleaf desmodium (Desmodium intortum), and glycine (Glycine javanica) tolerated the preplant herbicide vernolate (N-propyl-di-N-propylthiolcarbamate) at rates up to 4 lb a.i./ac. Siratro (Phaseolus atropurpureus) and Dolichos axillaris were less tolerant.
