Broom Snakeweed Control with Tebuthiuron

A Comparison of Inter- and Intraspecific Interference on Broom Snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae) Seedling Growth

Broom snakeweed (snakeweed) is a native range shrub found throughout semiarid rangelands of the western United States, which increases and dominates plant communities after disturbances such as overgrazing, drought, or wildfire. The objective of this study was to compare the ability of selected grass species and prostrate kochia to restrict establishment and growth of snakeweed seedlings in pot...

Seeding Cool-Season Grasses to Suppress Broom Snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae), Downy Brome (Bromus tectorum), and Weedy Forbs

Broom snakeweed (snakeweed) is an aggressive native range-weed found throughout arid and semiarid areas of the western United States, that increases following disturbances such as overgrazing, drought, or wildfire. Ecologically based strategies that include controlling snakeweed and reestablishing desirable herbaceous species are needed to restore productivity and diversity to invaded areas. Th...

Experimental control of Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) invading natural grasslands

A group of legumes generically known as brooms are among the most successful shrubs invading grasslands in South America and other regions. These species share a set of biological features that enhance their invasiveness, such as abundant and long-lasting seed banks, aggressive root systems and rapid growth, combined with their ability for re-sprouting after cutting or burning and for avoiding ...

A COMBINATION OF TEBUTHIURON AND DlUiRON FOR WEED CONTROL IN SOUTH AFRICAN SUGARCANE

A combination of tebuthiuron (25%) and diuron (50%) called Bimate* was evaluated for pre-emergence and postemergence weed control. An early post-emergence application was the best treatment. No phytotoxicity to either plant or ratoon cane was recorded when the recommended rates of 4,O kg of Bimate per ha were used on soil containing 8 to 30% clay, and 5,O kg of Bimate per ha on soil containing ...
