Efficacy of postemergence herbicides to control Euphorbia hetrophylla in no-till soybean
DOI: 10.7824/rbh.v1i2.331
The experiment was carried out in 99100, at the experimental field ofthe State University ofSão Paulo, in Selvíria,MS, on a medium texture soil. The objective of the study was to evaluate the tolerance and agronomic efficacy of postemergence herbicides in the control of adult plants of Euphorbia heterophylla for no-till planting of soybean cv. Tucano. Planting was done in area with adult plants of E. heterophylla, in the system of”direct planting on the weeds”. The herbicides were applied in postemergence ofthe weeds and the culture. Experimental design was a randomized complete block with six treatments and four replications. Treatments, applied one day before planting, were: glyphosate (960 and 1920 g/ha), chlorimuronethyl+ glyphosate (10+960 g/ha), chlorimuron-ethyl+ TY029+glyphosate (10+ 10+960 giba) and control with and without weeds. The parameters evaluated were the control of weeds, the residual effect and the crop tolerance. No injury to soybean was observed in any treatment. Glyphosate (960 and 1920 g/ha), chlorimuron-ethyl+glyphosate (10+960 g/ha) and chlorimuronethyl+ TY029+glyphosate (10+ 10+960 giba), were efficient in the control of adult plants of E. heterophylla. The herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl (10 g/ha) applied together with glyphosate, on adult weeds, provided residual effect for E. heterophylla, reducing the occurrence of the weed during the entire soybean cycle.
