Selectivity and efficiency are key characteristics for herbicide recommendation. The objective of this work was to evaluate weed control and sugarcane selectivity of the commercial sulfentrazone + diuron mixture (Stone, 700 g a.i. ha-1 of sulfentrazone + 1400 g a.i. ha-1 of diuron, SC, FMC) in five doses: D1: zero g a.i. ha-1; D2: 350 g a.i. ha-1 + 700 g a.i. ha-1; D3: 700 g a.i. ha-1 + 1400 g a.i. ha-1; D4: 1050 g a.i. ha-1 + 2100 […]

The slow initial growth and the small size of the pumpkin favor the establishment of weeds in the cultivated areas, requiring adequate management so that there is no reduction in productivity. However, there are currently no herbicides registered for pumpkin cultivation. Thus, the objective was to verify the selectivity of herbicides in pre and post-planting Japanese pumpkin seedlings. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design with four replications. For pre-planting and post-planting applications, treatments were composed of herbicides; […]

The control of weeds in the coffee crop is hampered by the scarcity of selective herbicides for the growing crop. An alternative to circumvent the damage caused by herbicides is the use of chemical protectors with the ability to minimize herbicide intoxication. The objective was to evaluate the selectivity of herbicides applied alone or in a mixture in the tank with Fertiactyl Sweet® for recently transplanted coffee plants. The experiment was carried out in pots in a completely randomized design, […]

On the rice crop, weed species more adapted to the production system appear in greater incidence in the area, thus, crop rotation can be an alternative to help reduce the weed seed bank. In this sense, the objective of this work was to evaluate the dynamics of the barnyardgrass (Echinochloa spp.) and alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea) seed banks in lowlands, in response to crop rotation and soil management. Rice, soybean and sorghum crops were used under conventional tillage and no-till system, […]

In recent years, a new form of weed control has emerged, contact control. The aim of this study was to compare different modes of application and doses of the herbicide glyphosate in soy. The experiment was carried out in a commercial soybean area in Sinop MT. The experimental design was a randomized block, with five replications and eight treatments. The 8 treatments were: Physical control, manual weeding with a hoe; Application with costal sprayer in doses of 0.7 and 1.4 […]

The application of herbicides with adjuvants can improve the efficiency of weed control such as Digitaria insularis L., which causes losses in several agricultural crops due to its high competitiveness and difficulty in control. This study aimed to evaluate the synergism of the adjuvant SinerMax® associated with the herbicides clethodim, glyphosate and haloxyfop-methyl in the control of bitter grass (Digitaria insularis L). The experiment was conducted between September and October 2018. The experimental design used was the randomized blocks in […]

The residual herbicides in the soil can be influenced by several factors, including soil compaction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of soil compaction on selectivity of diclosulam to soybean, as well as the carryover effect on the corn in succession. The experiment was carried out in clay and sandy soil. The experimental design was in a randomized block with four replicates. The treatments were arranged in a 3×3 factorial scheme, where A factor was level […]
