Abstract: Glyphosate-resistant (GR) Canada fleabane (Erigeron canadensis L.) is a problematic weed in soybean. Bromoxynil-based tankmixes provide control of GR Canada fleabane in monocot crops; however, there is limited research on preplant (PP) applications in soybean. The objective of this study was to determine the best third tankmix partner with glyphosate plus bromoxynil applied PP to improve the level and consistency of GR Canada fleabane control in soybean. Four field trials were conducted over a two-year (2020, 2021) period. Glyphosate plus bromoxynil controlled GR Canada fleabane 52, 58, and 69% at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after application (WAA) respectively. The addition of saflufenacil to glyphosate plus bromoxynil improved GR Canada fleabane control 39% at 2 WAA and the addition of dicamba to glyphosate plus bromoxynil improved GR Canada fleabane control 39 and 29% at 4 and 8 WAA, respectively. The addition of bromoxynil to glyphosate plus 2,4-D ester or dicamba improved GR Canada fleabane control by 36 and 35%, respectively, at 2 WAA. The addition of bromoxynil to glyphosate plus tiafenacil or pyraflufen-ethyl/2,4-D improved GR Canada fleabane control by 19% at 8 WAA. The addition of bromoxynil to glyphosate plus metribuzin improved GR Canada fleabane control 31, 32, and 36% at 2, 4, and 8 WAA, respectively. Antagonism was observed between bromoxynil plus glyphosate plus tiafenacil or halauxifen-methyl 8 WAA, while the interaction between bromoxynil plus glyphosate plus pyraflufen-ethyl/2,4-D was considered synergistic. The addition of metribuzin, tiafenacil, pyraflufen-ethyl/2,4-D, 2,4-D ester, halauxifen-methyl, saflufenacil or dicamba to glyphosate plus bromoxynil improved the consistency of GR Canada fleabane at 2, 4, and 8 WAA. This study concludes that the addition of saflufenacil or dicamba to glyphosate plus bromoxynil can improve the level and consistency of GR Canada fleabane control applied PP to soybean.
