Benzoic Acid Injury
List of files and visuals associated with this text.
(E.g. Banvel)
Benzoic acid herbicides act as a growth regulator on
soybeans. Banvel injury causes soybean leaflets to cup,
stems to twist and the terminal bud to stop development.
(Vis. 1) Branching may occur if the terminal bud is
severely damaged. Banvel injury can result from the
direct drift of spray or from the volatilization of the
herbicide after application. Injury from the direct drift
is usually more severe, while injury from volatilization
can be widespread throughout the field. Yield reduction
can occur if soybeans are injured during the reproductive
stage.
