The objective of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate in desiccating Urochloa ruziziensis, U. decumbens, and U. brizantha cv. Piatã at two levels of biomass for no-till establishment in Cerrado areas. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with four replications, in a split-plot system. Plots consisted of two levels of biomass and sub-plots consisted of four doses of Roundup Ultra® – glyphosate at 0.65; 1.30, 1.95 and 2.60 kg ha-1 acid equivalent. The application […]

Saflufenacil herbicide can be one more alternative to control aquatic environment weeds, but at the time of or after the application of the herbicide bad weather such as rain, may invalidate the chemical control of problematic species occurring in this environment. Thus, the goal of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of different rain periods after applying saflufenacil herbicide to control water hyacinth and water lettuce plants. The study was conducted in plastic pots with 2.5 water liter capacity […]

The permanence of straw on the ground changes the phytosociology of weeds and affects control by the difficulty of transposing from straw to soil; thus, it is extremely important to transport it as quickly as possible. This research had the goal to know the effectiveness of two herbicides, applied on straw in different periods without rain, in controlling three weed species from the Euphorbia genus. The experiments were conducted in a greenhouse using a completely randomized design, arranged in split-plot […]

The presence of yellow bells (Tecoma stans) in pastures can compromise the implantation and the development of forage, damaging animal production and hindering mechanized operations with trailing implements. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the yellow bells control after localized herbicides applications and the fitointoxication of pasture composed of Urochloa maxima (syn Panicum maximum). The treatments were triclopyr (4%) and triclopyr (3%) applied to the stump base (SB); picloram (2%) applied on stump after plants (SA); triclopyr + […]

Itchgrass (Rottboelia exaltata L.f.) is a weed that presented fast dissemination in sugarcane fields in Brazil, causing significant yield losses to the crop. Therefore, this research had the objective of evaluating the susceptibility of the weed itchgrass to imazapic when applied in pre-emergence using dose-response curves. The experiments were carried out in randomized blocks experimental design with four replications in a factorial arrangement between two soil (clayey-sandy and sandy) and nine rates of imazapic. The herbicide rates were: 0; 9.19; […]

Knowledge on changes in weeds communities caused by weeds management practices is important when effective strategies for the control of these species are set. A field experiment was conducted to assess the effects of herbicides applications with different sprayer boom heights on the weeds dynamics and beans yield. A 3×4+1 factorial arrangement was adopted, comprised of the combination of three herbicides (fomesafen. fluazifop-p-butyl and a mixture of both) and four different boom heights (0.20; 0.30; 0.40 and 0.50 m above […]

The association of glyphosate and diclosulam in burndown can reduce the presence of weeds for a longer period, thus promoting the development and productivity of soybean plants. The objective was verify if the efficiency of the herbicide diclosulam associated with glyphosate, in burndown for direct seeding, in the seed bank of weeds in soybean grown in the plant system and apply. The straw present was Urochloa ruziziensis at 4.4 t ha-1 of dry mass, uniformly distributed over the experimental area. […]

Three experiments were developed with the goal to evaluate the susceptibility of Merremia cissoides, Neonotonia wightii and Stizolobium aterrimum to the amicarbazone, imazapic and sulfentrazone herbicides, by means of rate-response curves. The experiments were installed in clay soil, where eight doses of each herbicide were applied, in pre-emergency. The used doses were: 8D, 4D, 2D, D, 1/2D, 1/4D, 1/8D, and check plots without application; whereas D is the recommended dose of amicarbazone (1200 g ha-1), imazapic (147 g ha-1) or […]

The weed control through the application of long residual activity of herbicides is important strategy for the removal of these at different times of the year. The objective of this study was to evaluate the residual activity of herbicides applied pre-emergence of sugarcane on the morning glory of control in the dry season, and the selectivity of the herbicides sugarcane crop. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications. The treatments were (g a.i. ha-1): hexazinone […]

Pastures formed with Cynodonn lemfuensis Vanderyst are excellent alternatives for feeding livestock. The competition from weeds can cause damage to pasture, and Vernonia polyanthes and Desmodium incanum are among the main competing species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different herbicides to control Vernonia polyanthes and Desmodium incanum, applied in high and low spray mix volumes. The experiment was established in an area formed for over 10 years by African stargrass (Cynodonn lemfuensis). The experimental […]
