Conventional corn cultivation has been taking up space in the national agricultural panorama due to the difficulty of controlling the corn in subsequent crops. However, glyphosate drift in adjacent crops has become a concern among producers and technicians. Thus the experiment was installed to evaluate the effect of low doses of glyphosate on the crop and the ability of a plant hormone-based biostimulant to reverse the injuries caused by the herbicide, evaluating the morphological characteristics and photosynthetic rate of corn […]

The tomato plant is an oleraceous that has low tolerance to most of the herbicides used, which limits the use of chemical products in integrated weed management. By this fact, this study was conducted for evaluating the efficacy and selectivity of the metribuzin and diuron, both applied before transplanting the tomato crop, upon different cover crops. Seeds of tomato cv. IPA 6 were planted in trays and transplanted to pots at the stage of two leaves. The species used were: […]

The weed control difficulties has been considered one of the most obstacles to success of forest recovery projects at degraded areas. This experiment aimed to evaluate the different pre‑emergent herbicides effect on seed emergence, seedling survival and initial development of Brazilian native tree species Platypodium elegans, Guazuma ulmifolia, Anadenanthera colubrine and Jacaranda micrantha. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in a completely randomized design with five replications. The treatments were constituted by the pre-emergence application of the following herbicides […]

It is essential the rotation of mechanisms of action in the management of glyphosate resistant weeds, in this context the use of ALS inhibitor herbicides in association can aid in the control. The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of sulfometuron, chlorimuron and other sulfonylureas, isolated and in associations in the control of Wild Poinsettia, Morning Glory and Greater Beggarticks. Three greenhouse experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design with four replications. The treatments corresponded […]

The most common solution for problems on weed control in agricultural system of production is the inclusion of alternative herbicides, applied isolated or in tank mixtures. Thus, this work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the efficacy and interaction of metsulfuron‑methyl and glyphosate tank mixtures for weed control. For that, two independent trials were performed, evaluating different bioindicators, being one monocotyledonous (sourgrass – Digitaria insularis) and one dicotyledonous (morning glory – Ipomoea triloba). Treatments were consequence of a […]

Volunteer soy is a problem in maize cultivation, interfering with its development and growth. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of herbicides used in maize for the control of volunteer soybean plants in two phenological stages. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in a completely randomized experimental design in factorial 2 x 11, having as factors two phenological stages and eleven herbicides spray, with four replications. The herbicides spray were composed by: nicosulfuron (40 g […]

The objective, of this work, was evaluated the effect of carrier volume and use of activator adjuvant on the weed control and deposition of herbicide treatment with ioxynil + clethodim in onion plants. The experiment consisted by six treatments and five replications, organized in factorial scheme 2 x 3, that is a combination of two levels of adjuvant (with an without) with three application rates (100, 150 e 200 L ha-1). The treatments were applicate in post-emergence, after the onion […]
