The objective ofthe experiment was to evaluate the efficacy of hérbicides bentazon 400/acifluorfen 170 and bentazon 400/acifluorfen 140, alone and in mixture with mineral oil (Assist) in early postemergence control ofweeds in soybean. Treatrnents were: bentazon 400/acifluorfen 140 (570, 684 and 855 glha), bentazon 400/acifluorfen 170+mineral oil (684+378 glha), bentazon 400/acifluorfen 140 (540, 648 and 810 glha), bentazon 400/acifluorfen 140+mineral oil (648+378 glha) and fomesafenlfluazifopbutyl (500 g/ha) and a weedy and a weeded control. The results showed no difference in grain productivity between the herbicide treatments and the weeded control. However the weedy control showed differences in relation to alI treatments, with productivity of 813 kglha. Soybean density at harvesting, plant height, first pod insertion height and weight of 100 seeds, showed no difference between treatments. Amaranthus viridis was controled by ali herbicides, with 95% control or more until 21 days after aplication. Nicandra physaloides was also controlled by ali herbicides from 7th to 21 st day after spraying. In Sida rhombifolia, ali herbicides showed index control higher than 97% until 21 days after aplication. Seven days after herbicide spraying it was observed negligible toxicity to soybean plants. Seven days later there was no toxicity.
