Abstract: | Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the tolerance of strawberry cultivars to terbacil. Treatments (84, 168, and 336 g ha–1) were applied at either dormant stage or 3–4 leaf. Initial crop injury at 1 and 3 weeks after treatment (WAT) ranged between 0% and 43%; all cultivars fully recovered at 6 WAT. Terbacil applied at 168 g ha–1 at dormant stage caused approximately 20% yield reduction in ‘Brunswick’, ‘Darselect’, and ‘Honeoye’, which was not observed with other treatments. A negative impact of the herbicide on yield of these cultivars is an unlikely outcome when sprayed at 3–4 leaf stage. |
