Abstract

Horseweed is a major weed in conservation tillage production systems. Herbicides were evaluated for horseweed control at two growth stages, rosette and 10- to 15-cm tall. Horseweed was controlled at the rosette stage with the 2,4-D ester, 2,4-D amine, dicamba, 2,4-D plus glyphosate, and glyphosate. Higher rates were needed for control at the 10- to 15-cm stage. Paraquat did not effectively control horseweed at any stage.
