Indaziflam: Control Effectiveness in Monocotyledonous and Eudicotyledonous Weeds as a Function of Herbicide Dose and Soil Texture.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> The indaziflam herbicide has efficiency in the control of monocotyledons weeds and is recommended for some eudicotyledonous species. However, the efficiency of the control can vary to the detriment of the species, dose and soil texture. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the effectiveness of the control of indaziflam herbicide for weeds species <i>Mucuna aterrima</i>, <i>Sorghum halepense</i>, <i>Ipomoea purpurea</i>, <i>Rottboellia exaltata</i>, <i>Urochloa decumbens</i>, <i>Merremia aegyptia</i>, <i>Cenchrus echinatus</i>, <i>Digitaria horizontalis</i>, <i>Panicum maximum</i>, <i>Tridax procumbens</i>, <i>Urochloa plantaginea</i> and <i>Eleusine indica</i>, besides elaborating the calculation of DL₈₀, DL₉₀ and DL₉₅ of the product in two types of soil.

Role of soil physicochemical properties in quantifying the fate of diuron, hexazinone, and metribuzin.

The physicochemical properties of soil are fundamental to quantification of the fate of herbicides. Thus, the aim of this research was to evaluate the fate of diuron, hexazinone, and metribuzin in five soils (Clay-1, Clay-2, Loam-1, Loam-2, and Sand), presenting variation in clay content, cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, and organic carbon (OC). Herbicides radiolabeled with C were applied, and the C-CO released from mineralization was trapped in 0.

Alternative herbicides to manage Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum lam) resistant to glyphosate at different phenological stages.

During the growing season of 2002--2003, field and greenhouse experiments were conducted with the objective of evaluating the influence of Italian ryegrass phenological stages and management alternatives on the control of resistant biotypes to glyphosate. Three field experiments were conducted in Lagoa Vermelha, RS, Brazil and glyphosate was applied alone and in combinations with alternative herbicides. Two greenhouse experiments were also conducted at the Department of Crop Science, ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba, SP, Brazil.
