The use of herbicides must be made in a rational way, giving priority to reduce possible adverse effects on subsequent crops. The objective was to evaluate the residual effect of pre-emergent herbicides on growth and initial development as well as the biochemical composition of snap bean seedlings. The experimental design used was the completely randomized, with four replications in factorial scheme 3×4, three snap bean cultivars (Macarrão Favorito, Macarrão Preferido e Macarrão Trepador) and three pre-emergent herbicides, plus a control […]

The objective of the research was to determine the efficacy of pre-emergence-applied herbicides sprayed at different rates and times before soybean planting under water deficit conditions, to control volunteer cotton plants tolerant to glyphosate and ammonium glufosinate and Eleusine indica. The trial was conducted on Formosa do Rio Preto/BA, during the 2015/16 growing season, in a randomized complete block design, with four replications and ten treatments, which included: glyphosate + diclosulam 960 + 25,2 g ha-1 a.i., glyphosate + diclosulam […]

Volunteer soybean control is a fundamental requirement, mainly because of the rust inoculum disease present in these plants. Several herbicides are available that will control volunteer soybean in the vegetative growth stage, however farmers may delay application of control measures until the flowering growth stage, where the control can be more difficult With the introduction of 2,4-D tolerant soybean (DAS-444Ø6-6 – Enlist E3TM), other methods of chemical control need to be identified. The objective of this research was to determine […]

The use of herbicides is very used by growers for the control of weeds. However, their effectiveness can be compromised by the reduction of water in the atmosphere, influencing its uptake, translocation and metabolism in plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides paraquat (Gramoxone) and glyphosate (Roundup Original) for the control of Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R. D. Webster (Poaceae) and Merremia cissoides (Lam.) Hallier f. (Convolvulaceae) when submitted to hydric deficit. The experiment was […]

In Brazil cropping systems is common a rotation between soybean, corn and / or cotton, all resistant to glyphosate, which favor the selection of glyphosate resistant sourgrass populations (Digitaria insularis). Little is known about alternative chemical control of D. insularis registered for the corn and cotton crops. Thus, it is relevant to investigate herbicides with alternative mode of action, applied in pre and post-emergence conditions, to be used for efficient control of the glyphosate resistant sourgrass biotype (D. insularis). The […]

Field trials were conducted in two locations, at the Teaching and Research (T&R) Farm of the College of Agriculture, Kwara State University and Ga-Alanu Village, Malete, in the 2015 cropping season. The objective this work was to evaluate the effect of herbicide application associated to the insecticide Lambda cyhalothrin on weed control, and yield of cowpea. The experiment consisted of 18 treatments arranged in a factorial scheme. The first factor was three insecticide rates (0 ml ha-1, 8.75ga.i.ha-1 and 17.5ga.i. […]

The cultivation of safflower has increased in recent years, mainly for the production of biodiesel. However, it is necessary to weed control in order to avoid losses in productivity. In this way, an alternative that comes up is the use of selective herbicides for culture. This study aimed to verify the selectivity of different herbicides in pre and post-emergence to the safflower crop. Two experiments were conducted adopting a randomized block design with four replicates. For the first experiment with […]

2,4-D and picloram are molecules much used in the control of weeds in pastures. Study the fate of these molecules in Amazonian soil is of extreme importance in assessing the potential for contamination of groundwater. The objective of the present work was to determine the leaching of increasing doses of 2,4-D + picloram herbicide in Dystrophic Yellow Red Latosol. For this, samples of this soil were used as substrate to fill PVC pipes with 10 cm in diameter and 50 […]

In view of the intense use of herbicides, coupled with the scarcity of information regarding the residual effect of these compounds in some Brazilian soils, the objective of this study was to evaluate the leaching potential by means of biological assays of the sulfentrazone herbicide in the 0- 20 and 20-40 cm of soils of the North of Minas Gerais cultivated with sugarcane. The experiment was conducted in the split – plot scheme, in a completely randomized design. The plots […]
