Oat Response to Imazapic Residues E. P. Prostko, T.L. Grey, and R. N. Morgan Department of Crop & Soil Sciences University of Georgia Tifton WSSA - 2005
Imazapic • trade named - CADRE • BASF product • labeled for peanut in 1996 • postemergence • nutsedges • broadleaf • small grasses • very popular • 64% in GA • $15-16/A • rotation restrictions
Small Grains in GeorgiaPlanted Acres Source: GASS
Materials and Methods - I • small plot techniques • 4 replications • imazapic @ 1.44 ozs/A applied to bare ground • first week of May, June, July , August, September • ‘Coker 227’ oats planted first week of October • 3 locations • no tillage after initial bed formation
Materials and Methods - IIData Collected • stand counts • 1-2 WAP • forage yields • machine harvested in December and January • grain yields • machine harvested in May
The influence of imazapic on oat stand P = 0.60 Averaged over 3 tests
The influence of imazapic on forage yield a a a ab b c LSD Averaged over 3 tests
The influence of imazapic on grain yield P = 0.1476 Averaged over 3 tests

Summary • oat stand was not reduced by any timing of imazapic • oat forage yield reduced when imazapic was applied in August and September (1-2 months before planting) • oat grain yield was not reduced by any timing of imazapic
Conclusions • the oat rotation restriction does not need to be 18 months • should be equivalent to other small grains (4 months)
