Herbicide tolerance and weed control in young nectarines

Mesotrione – a New Herbicide for Weed Control in Maize

Six field trials were conducted over three growing seasons to evaluate both pre-and post-emergence applications of the recently developed herbicide mesotrione, for weed control in maize. As a pre-emergence treatment it provided excellent control of broadleaf weeds (>99% reduction in dry matter) but was poor on grass weeds (ca 80% reduction). However, its combination with atrazine, s-metolachlor...

Reduced herbicide rates for an effective weed control in competitive wheat cultivars

A study was carried out over 2 years (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) in Greece, in order to evaluate the weed control using reduced rates of the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl+iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium of four major weeds (Avena sterilis, Phalaris minor, Papaver rhoeas and Sinapis arvensis), grain yield and yield components of five wheat cultivars (Bob, Cosmodur, Meridiano, Quadrato and Simeto). The ...

Fitness costs and benefits of novel herbicide tolerance in a noxious weed.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUp, has increased dramatically in use over the past decade and constitutes a potent anthropogenic source of selection. In the southeastern United States, weedy morning glories have begun to develop tolerance to glyphosate, representing a unique opportunity to examine the evolutionary genetics of a novel trait. We found genetic variation fo...

Evaluating the Integrated Effect of Herbicide Band Application and Cultivation on Weed Control and Yield of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

To evaluate the effect of herbicide band application and cultivator on weed control, yield and yield components of potato, an experiment was conducted using factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications at Research Field of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran during 2015. Experimental factors included cultivator at two levels (with and w...
