An experiment was carried-out with the objective of evaluating the selectivity and efficacy of herbicides applied for weed control on winter cereals. The experiment was conducted under field conditions at the field station of Embrapa, in Passo Fundo, RS, during the 2005 growing season. The soil of the station is a loam Oxisol. The evaluated crops were wheat, barley, rye and triticale. Black oats, oats, turnipseed and vetch were sown in order to act as volunteer crops interfering with those […]

The work was carried out to evaluate the herbicide flumioxazin performance compared to commercial patterns applied in pre-emergency in the transplanted onion culture. Field trials were carried out in Monte Alto, SP, arranged in a randomized complete block design with four repetitions. The used herbicides were: flumioxazin (0,080; 0,120; 0,180; 0,240 kg ha-1), oxadiazon + linuron (0,500 + 0,900 kg ha-1), linuron (1,350 kg ha-1) and oxadiazon (0,75 kg ha-1). Two controls also were maintained, one with and other without […]

The yellow passion fruit is one of the most interesting economic species of Passifloraceae family. The biotechnology tools are useful to solve some problems that affect the productive potencial of this specie, like fungal and bacterial diseases, and the creation of more productivity varieties. In this context an experiment of yellow passion fruit was corried out to evaluate the glyphosate and gluphosinato herbicides as selective agents for genetic transformation. The culture medium used was Murashige & Skoog (1962) supplemented with […]

In order to study the isoxaflutole persistence in a clay soil cultivated with potato cv. Monalisa, a field experiment was carried out at Bayer CropScience Experimental Station, in Paulínia – SP. A complete split-plot randomized block design with four replication was used. In the main plots were studied the rates 0, 75, 150 and 300 g ai/ha in a pre-emergence application. On the day of treatment and at seven day intervals until 140 days after treatment, except at 119 days, […]

The experiment was installed on a transgenic soybean field (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), variety Soy 8888-RR, planted on January 11, 1999. One glyphosate application at 1.2 kg/L was performed before seeding, which was carried out seven days after that management practice, in the no-till system. The products were applied in the entire area of the plot, using a carbon dioxide (CO2) precision sprayer. Treatments consisted of: glyphosate at 0.48; 0.72; 0.96; 1.20 and 1.44 kg/ha, applied 31 days after emergence […]

Aiming to study the herbicides selectivity at pre-emergence: diclosulam (35,28 g a.i./ha), flumetsulan (120 g a.i./ha), flumioxazin (50 g a.i./ha), imazaquin (30 g a.i./ha), smetolachlor (1.920 g a.i./ha) and sulfentrazone (600 g a.i./ha) and post-emergence: flumioxazin (25 g a.i./ha), 2,4-D (840 g a.i./ha), 2,4-D (536 g a.i./ha), bentazon/acifluorfensodium (450 g a.i./ha), acifluorfen-sodium/bentazon (240 g a.i./ha), chlorimuron-ethy (l17,5 g a.i./ha), fomesafen (250 g a.i./ha), imazethapyr (100 g a.i./ha) and lactofen (168 g a.i./ha), in Stylosanthes capitata and S. macrocephala, field trails were […]

Bidens spp. especies are present in 74% of the farms of central plateaus of the state of Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil. The species Bidens pilosa was the first weed to be documented as resistant to herbicides inhibitors of the enzyme acetholactate sinthase (ALS), in Brazil. Foransulfuron + iodosulfuron and imazapic + imazapyr are ALS inhibitors recently launched to use on the corn crop. Since, there is no record of the action of these herbicidas on resistant Bidens spp. biotypes, […]
