Volunteer soybean control is a fundamental requirement, mainly because of the rust inoculum disease present in these plants. Several herbicides are available that will control volunteer soybean in the vegetative growth stage, however farmers may delay application of control measures until the flowering growth stage, where the control can be more difficult With the introduction of 2,4-D tolerant soybean (DAS-444Ø6-6 – Enlist E3TM), other methods of chemical control need to be identified. The objective of this research was to determine […]

Field trials were conducted in two locations, at the Teaching and Research (T&R) Farm of the College of Agriculture, Kwara State University and Ga-Alanu Village, Malete, in the 2015 cropping season. The objective this work was to evaluate the effect of herbicide application associated to the insecticide Lambda cyhalothrin on weed control, and yield of cowpea. The experiment consisted of 18 treatments arranged in a factorial scheme. The first factor was three insecticide rates (0 ml ha-1, 8.75ga.i.ha-1 and 17.5ga.i. […]

With the insertion of showy crotalaria as an antagonistic plant in areas with nematodes infestation history, the occurrence of volunteer plants from this species became common, making it necessary to adopt measures for their management. Thus, this work had the goal to evaluate the effectiveness of herbicides used on different species that where grown in rotation with showy crotalaria (C. spectabilis), aiming at its use in controlling volunteer plants from this species. Two experiments (herbicides applied in pre and post-emergence) […]

The present research was carried out in a raw ratoon cane area located in Bocaina, SP, with cultivar RB85-5156, planted with a space of 1.4 m between the rows, on a sandy soil, with the objective of studying management alternatives with herbicides applied in the pre-emergence period during the dry season, adopting the randomized blocs design with four replications. In order to apply the herbicides, a CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer was used, with a constant pressure of 200 kgf.-2 and […]

The extensive use of glyphosate has selected weeds of difficult control and one of the alternatives to overcome this problem is the association of different herbicides and adjuvants with glyphosate. The objective of the experiment was evaluate the effects on deposition and effectiveness of saflufenacil and glyphosate isolated or in mixture with addition of adjuvants applied in post-emergence of dayflower and morning glory plants. The experiments were conducted in a greenhouse. On the first experiment was adopted the factorial 3×5 […]

The commercial release of the Roundup Ready® soybean helped the management of weeds and allowed the application of glyphosate during the post-emergence of the culture. However, the intensive use of this herbicide selected resistant hairy fleabane biotypes and hindered control. Many works evaluate the technical effectiveness of herbicides, however, most of the times; the economic return is not analyzed when making decisions about the choice of which herbicide to apply. The aim of this work was to evaluate the technical […]

Alternatives for volunteer corn RR® management need further knowledge in the product scope with residual effect, mainly for use in pre-emergence of the soybean RR®. This paper evaluated the performance of residual herbicides to control this species, when applied in soybean using the method “plant-apply”. The experiment was carried in the municipality of Santa Maria/RS, crop season 2015/16; evaluating herbicides applied in pre-emergence of soybean crop and corn RR®. The experimental design was randomized blocks with eight treatments and four […]

Many species of the genus Digitaria are known as crabgrass and occurs in the main agricultural crops, especially in sugarcane production, which uses mostly photosystem II inhibitor herbicides for weed management. Due to the complexity of the cultivation system and the problems attributed to the substitution of susceptible species weeds by tolerant species of crabgrass populations, the objective of this work was to verify the control of crabgrass species using photosystem II inhibitor herbicides (PSII) in pre-emergence. The experiment was […]

The species of Murdannia nudiflora belongs to the family Commelinaceae is known as doveweed. Because of competitive capacity and tolerance to glyphosate this species growing during the soybean crop cycle, presenting rapid growth when the leaf senescence of soybean occurs difficulting weed management in others cultures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of different active ingredients of herbicides in combination or separately, and verify the best dosage of the active ingredient, which provided the best control […]

The grown of RR® soybean preceded by corn RR® increased the occurrence of volunteer corn plants interfering with soybeans. The volunteers originate from the grain lost during harvest corn. Losses occur as individual grains, which give rise to individual plants, and in the form of ear corn or pieces containing various grains, which give rise to the clumps. The volunteer corn if not controlled interfere with soybean and reduces significantly the yield, even in a population less than a plant […]
