Desiccation is considered the initial crops management and one of the most important practices for soybean deployment in no-tillage system. After starting the cultivation of transgenic soybean, the use of glyphosate in this crop increased expressively and provided Conyza bonariensis selection resistant to this herbicide. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate in association with chlorimuron-ethyl in controlling glyphosate-resistant C. bonariensis, at different growth development stages. Eight treatments were constituted by the associated use of 2.5 L ha-1 […]

Sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) is a species native to the Americas, in tropical and subtropical regions. In areas where there is continuous use of glyphosate, plants develop clumps with rhizomes and become difficult to control, leading to the possibility of occurring regrowth after the herbicide treatments. This study evaluated the efficacy of different herbicide treatments to suppress the regrowth of D. insularis. The experiment was conducted in Nova Aurora – PR, from July to August 2013. The treatments were check (no […]

This work aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of herbicides  applied during post-emergence on weed control in onion crop that recently have infested the onion crop areas in  Monte Alto city, São Paulo state, Brazil. Fourteen herbicides, either alone or in mixture, were tested to control Sisyrinchium micranthum Cav. and an unidentified specie of the genus Agrostis. The herbicides used were: flumioxazin, bentazon + ioxynil + oxyfluorfen, fluazifop-p-butyl, fluazifop-p-butil + ioxynil, fluazifop-p-butil + oxyfluorfen, paraquat + oxyfluorfen, paraquat + fluazifop-p-butil + […]

In sugarcane areas of Parana State, Panicum maximum (guinea grass) and Brachiaria decumbens (signal grass) stand out as weeds with difficult control and may compromise the useful period sugar cane crop. This research aimed to evaluate alternatives to chemical scavenging of P. maximum and B. decumbens clumps in sugar cane crop. This way, two experiments were conducted in field conditions by using a complete randomized block design with four replications for the first and five for the second one. In […]

In Burndown cover plants in areas under no-till the glyphosate herbicide is the most widely used. With the aims to determine the lower dose to burndown the cover crop species adopted the Urochloa ruziziensis cv. Kennedy, U. decumbens cv. Basilisk e U. brizantha cv. BRS Piatã, in four doses (0, 0,72, 1,44 and 2,16 kg ha-1 of acid equivalent). The experimental design was of randomized blocks with four replications, in a plot scheme subdivided (3 x 4), in which the […]

Weeds presence in corn crop (Zea mays L.) may cause high losses in production. Chemical control of these plants is the most used, but may adversely affect natural enemies present in crops. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate herbicides toxicity s registered for corn crop to nymphs of Podisus nigrispinus Dallas, 1851 (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) predator. It was evaluated the effect of atrazine, nicosulfuron, mesotrione, paraquat and its control based on distilled water over three immature stages of […]

This study, during one year period, dealt with the identification of the floristic composition of weeds in areas of sugarcane production, in Felixlândia, Minas Gerais State (Brazil), in response to predecessor crops to sugarcane planting. The experiment was carried out at the EPAMIG Experimental Farm, in a randomized complete block design with six treatments and four replications, being evaluated the sugarcane variety SP81-3250. The treatments were the predecessor crops to sugarcane: Pennisetum glaucum, Crotalaria juncea, Stizolobium aterrimum, Cajanus cajan and […]

Chemical control is a viable tool and practically essential in the management of weeds control. However, insufficient details about application methods of pesticides have been observed in most scientific publications that deal with herbicides utilization. With the objective of verifying the presence or absence of basic information about herbicides application found in scientific papers, as well as to propose a criterion of minimum description needed with information that may guarantee better repeatability of methods and techniques used, it was conducted […]

This study aimed to evaluate phytotoxic effects of glyphosate subdoses in seedlings of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Aubl.). One year after seedlings planting three reduced rates of glyphosate were studied, as follows: T1 – 86.4, T2 – 172.8 and T3 – 345.6 g e a ha-1 and T4 – control (without application). At 7, 14, 21, 28 and 180 days after application (DAA) of herbicide, scores were assigned for visual phytotoxicity, and in the last evaluation were took measurements of […]

Some Convolvulaceas can cause serious damage to the sugarcane crop. In addition, can interfere on cultural practices, in mechanical harvesting, quality reducing and productivity. The aim of this estudy was verify effectiveness of some herbicides applied in pre-emergence of sugarcane culture in the absence or presence of straw, on control of six species of convolvuluses. The experimental was a completely randomized design, in a factorial with three replications, six species of Convolvulaceas (Ipomoea grandifolia, I. hederifolia, I. nil, I. purpurea, […]
