Control of AAD dicot volunteers in monocot crops
The subject invention relates in part to the control of AAD-12 and/or AAD-13 dicot volunteers in fields planted with monocot crops such as corn. The dicots can include soybeans and cotton.
1. A method of controlling aryloxy alkanoate dioxygenase 12 (AAD-12) dicot soybean volunteer plants in a field comprising monocot plants, said soybean volunteer plants comprising Event DAS-68416-4 as available in seed deposited under ATCC deposit number PTA10442, said soybean volunteer plants comprising an AAD-12 gene that encodes an AAD-12 protein, wherein said method comprises
applying a herbicide to said soybean volunteer plants.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said monocot plants are corn plants.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said herbicide is selected from the group consisting of dicamba, clopyralid, and a triazine.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said triazine herbicide is atrazine.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said monocot plant comprises a glyphosate- and/or a glufosinate-tolerance gene.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said volunteer plants further comprise a glyphosate-tolerance gene, and said herbicide is selected from the group consisting of dicamba, clopyralid, and a triazine.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said herbicide is glyphosate.
