Efficacy of herbicides in pre and postemergence control of balloonvine (Cardiospermum halicacabum)
DOI: 10.7824/rbh.v3i1.374
Balloonvine (Cardiospermum halicacabum) is distributed throughout South Brazil. Because of size and shape similarities, balloonvine seeds are difficult to separate mechanically from soybean seed and this weed is spreading quickly by contaminated soybean seed. It is tolerant to most herbicides, mainly to contact products and highly infested soybean areas are difficult to harvest. Three experiments were carried out at Embrapa Soybean, Londrina, Paraná State, in order to evaluate balloonvine chemical control with pre and postemergence herbicide applications. Oxyfluorfen (480 g/ha), sulfentrazone (600 g/ha), acetochlor (2304 g/ha), prometryne (1600 g/ha), alachlor (3360 g/ha), and atrazine (2500 g/ha) were efficient on preermergence balloonvine control. Glyphosate plus carfentrazone (720 g/ha a.e. + 12 g/ha), glyphosate plus flumioxazin (720 g/ha a.e. + 25 g/ha), glyphosate plus lactofen (720 g/ha a.e. + 144 g/ha) and glufosinate-ammonium (400 g/ha) were efficient on postemergence balloonvine control.
