Selectivity and efficacy of herbicides applied on barley for weed control

Weed Control Efficacy and Citrus Response to Flazasulfuron Applied Alone or in Combination with Other Herbicides

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the phytotoxicity of flazasulfuron on citrus species and efficacy on weeds when applied alone or in combination with other herbicides. Grapefruit was the most sensitive and tangerine was the least sensitive to flazasulfuron. Injury to grapefruit was 70% with the application of flazasulfuron at 0.20 kg a.i. ha at 60 DAT and was reduced (5%) when flaza...

Microbial Weed Control and Microbial Herbicides

Microbial weed control represents an innovative means to manage troublesome weeds and utilize the naturally occurring biological herbicides produced by soil microorganisms. These compounds kill or hinder the growth of weeds so that beneficial plant species can gain a competitive advantage. The vast diversity of microorganisms in our environment is largely untapped, and the potential discovery a...

Synergy between Synthetic and Microbial Herbicides for Weed Control

Synthetic herbicides have been investigated as tools to synergize mycoherbicides (fungal bioherbicides) for improved efficacy or management of hard-to-control weed problems. Herbicides may weaken weeds and impair their defence systems, thus making weeds more vulnerable to mycoherbicide infection. Despite many positive results, the practical value of synergy remains elusive. This review will dis...

Weed Control in White Bean with Pendimethalin Applied Preplant Followed by Postemergence Broadleaved Herbicides

Field trials were conducted over a three-year period (2009 to 2011) to evaluate the efficacy of pendimethalin preplant-incorporated (PPI), bentazon, fomesafen, bentazon plus fomesafen, or halosulfuron applied postemergence (POST) and the sequential application of pendimethalin applied PPI followed by bentazon, fomesafen, bentazon plus fomesafen or halosulfuron applied POST in white bean in Onta...
