Soil as Herbicide Carrier for Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) Control in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
The efficacy of herbicides applied broadcast by hand with a soil carrier or sprayed with water carrier were compared for Italian ryegrass control in winter wheat in central Oklahoma. Italian ryegrass was controlled 77 to 100% with BAY SMY 1500, chlorsulfuron, and CGA-131036 applied with both carriers. Metribuzin applied POST with 187 L ha–1 water was less phytotoxic to Italian ryegrass and wheat than with 200 kg ha–1 soil. All herbicides applied with 200 kg ha–1 silt loam soil as carrier at two locations controlled Italian ryegrass 96 to 100%. Increasing herbicide rate, soil carrier quantity, or broadcasting soil-carried herbicide in two directions rather than one did not significantly improve herbicide efficacy over that of conventional spraying.
