The objective of this work was to evaluate the interactions among sugarcane mulch residue, the herbicide sulfentrazone and different application methods of vinasse, a sugarcane industry residue, on the initial development of purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.). A greenhouse experiment was set up using pots with soil, in randomized complete blocks, with four replications and the following treatments were studied: control (C), straw alone (P), vinasse alone (V), herbicide alone (H), straw + vinasse (PV), straw + herbicide (PH), herbicide + […]

The use of herbicides with residual activity in weed management has become a common practice in order to reduce weed initial competition. This study aims to evaluate the selectivity and efficiency of the sulfentrazone + glyphosate association at pre-planting management, supplemented with postemergence glyphosate. To reach such intent, an experiment was conducted in Bandeirantes – Pr, on a Eutrophic latosol. The experimental design was randomized blocks in split plot scheme with 11 treatments and 04 replicates. The main weeds in […]

The research aimed to evaluate the behavior of various pH reducers and metals complexers, under laboratory conditions. Were used 15 commercial products (10 pH reducers and 5 metals complexers), added to the spray mix. Five experiments were conducted; two to assess the stability of pH, after addition of pH reducers (Experiment 1) and metals complexers (Experiment 2) at 1% concentration, two to determine the necessary quantity of pH reducers (Experiment 3) and metals complexers (Experiment 4) to pH 3.5, an experiment […]
