Flurtamone applied preplant soil incorporated at 0.6 and 0.8 kg a.i. ha−1 selectively controlled wild mustard, Brassica kaber (DC) Wheeler var. pinnatifida (Stokes) Wheeler, in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. ’Hybrid Sun M20’) in field experiments at Morden, Manitoba from 1987 to 1989. Mixtures of flurtamone and trifluralin or ethalfluralin did not reduce the efficacy of flurtamone and controlled a broad range of annual weeds. Flurtamone had no significant effect on sunflower seedling emergence, achene yields, achene weight, achene density, or oil content.Key words: Wild mustard, Sinapis arvensis, Brassica kaber, sunflower, Helianthus annuus, flurtamone, RE-40885
