The aim of this work was to investigate the synergism or antagonism of glyphosate with and without mixing with saflufenacil to control B. decumbens. The following treatments were evaluated: glyphosate (1.080); glyphosate + saflufenacil + Dash (1,080 + 24.5 + 0.5 % v/v); glyphosate + 2,4-D (1,080 + 720); glyphosate (1,440); glyphosate + saflufenacil + Dash (1,440 + 24.5 + 0.5% v/v); glyphosate + 2,4-D (1,440 + 720); saflufenacil + Dash (24.5 + 0.5 v/v); 2,4-D (720), doses in g […]

The objective was to evaluate the effect of glyphosate, paraquat and glufosinate-ammonium applied as directed spray in initial development of jatropha plants. A randomized block design was used, with five replicates. The treatments consisted of glyphosate (180, 360, 720 and 1,440 g ha-1), paraquat (100, 200, 400 and 800 g ha-1) and glufosinate-ammonium (125, 250, 500 and 1,000 g ha-1) and a control (no application). Herbicide application was performed at 145 days after sowing, with spraying directed to the lower […]

The most used method in weed control is chemical, though, the sunflower is very sensitive, especially the post-emergent herbicides that control dicotyledonous weed species. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the tolerance of sunflower to different herbicides as well as to evaluate the effect of these products on physiological characteristics of sunflower plants. For this, we assembled an experiment conducted in a greenhouse. We used a completely randomized design with five replications. The treatments consisted of 10 […]

Cassava varieties (Manihot esculenta L. Crantz) intended for industrial starch manufacturers are usually pruned during the period of physiological rest of the plants, requiring the adoption of management practices to prevent weed competition in the second cycle of crop development. The objective was to evaluate the selectivity of pre-emergent herbicides applied alone or in tank mix with glyphosate in applications after pruning of cassava ‘Fécula Branca’. The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications. The treatments were: glyphosate […]

This work aimed to evaluate the selectivity of herbicides applied pre-emergence, isolated or in tank-mixtures, for two cotton varieties, Delta-Opal and FMT-701. Treatments applied were: alachlor, S-metolachlor, diuron (two rates), prometryn (two rates), oxyfluorfen, alachlor + diuron, alachlor + prometryn (two rates of this mixture), S-metolachlor + diuron, S-metolachlor + prometryn (two rates of this mixture), oxyfluorfen + diuron, oxyfluorfen + prometryn. Evaluations performed were related to the visual plant intoxication, height of plants and crop yield. When rates of […]

The accidental drift can occur as a result of the herbicide application. However, little is known regarding the physiological changes in crops resulting from herbicide drift. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of simulated drift of glyphosate and clomazone in tomato. The experimental scheme was randomized and the treatments arranged in a factorial design, where factor A compared herbicides (glyphosate or clomazone) and factor B rates (0, 12.5, 25, 37.5 and 50% of the recommended rate). […]

We aimed with this work to evaluate the effects of herbicides on microbial activity of soils planted with sugarcane.  The experiment was installed in a randomized blocks design in a factorial scheme 5 x 4 with four replications. Factor A was composed by sugarcane genotypes (RB72454, RB835486, RB855113, RB867515 and RB947520) and B corresponded to the herbicides (ametryn, trifloxysulfuron-sodium and the formulated mixture ametryn + trifloxysulfuron-sodium), and a no herbicide control. At 15 and 45 days after herbicide application (DAT), […]

The benefits of the Roundup Ready technology are expressive and the acceptance of this technology by farmers is undeniable, giving support to the rapid growth of RR2 corn. Recent studies indicate, however, that glyphosate applied in post-emergence in RR2 corn can eventually cause damage to plant development. Therefore, there are many speculations and questions that need to be clarified in the scientific and technical context glyphosate. Thus, it is necessary the search for information allowing to diagnose the real consequences […]

Desiccation is considered the initial crops management and one of the most important practices for soybean deployment in no-tillage system. After starting the cultivation of transgenic soybean, the use of glyphosate in this crop increased expressively and provided Conyza bonariensis selection resistant to this herbicide. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate in association with chlorimuron-ethyl in controlling glyphosate-resistant C. bonariensis, at different growth development stages. Eight treatments were constituted by the associated use of 2.5 L ha-1 […]

Sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) is a species native to the Americas, in tropical and subtropical regions. In areas where there is continuous use of glyphosate, plants develop clumps with rhizomes and become difficult to control, leading to the possibility of occurring regrowth after the herbicide treatments. This study evaluated the efficacy of different herbicide treatments to suppress the regrowth of D. insularis. The experiment was conducted in Nova Aurora – PR, from July to August 2013. The treatments were check (no […]
