Herbicides, application period, purple nutsedgeAbstract
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate, at greenhouse conditions, the effect of combined doses (1.0 kg ha-1, 1.5 kg ha-1, and 2.0 kg ha-1) and time of spraying (pre and postemergence), of the commercial mixture ametryn + trifloxysulfuronsodium (A+TS), on Cyperus rotundus L. control, in comparison with the treatments 1.0 kg ha-1 (pre-emergence) + 1.0 kg ha-1 (post-emergence) of the same commercial mixture, and 0.9 kg ha-1 of sulfentrazone in pre-emergence, besides the control treatment (without herbicide). A higher efficiency level was verified in the reduction of dry mass and shoot number of C. rotundus for the post-emergence treatments with A+TS, which did not differ between the applications of 1.5kg ha-1 and 2.0 kg ha-1, or even in 1.0 kg ha-1 in pre-emergence + 1.0 kg ha-1 in post-emergence of ametryn + trifloxysulfuron-sodium (A+TS). However, the treatments in pre-emergence with 2.0 kg ha-1 of the commercial mixture and 0.90 kg ha-1 of sulfentrazone showed to be superior to the remaining, concerning the reduction in number and weight of living tubers. The dose of 2.0 kg ha-1 in pre-emergence was the only efficient treatment in the reduction of C. rotundus, mostly for the evaluation carried out 90 days after spraying. Besides, the estimations of 1.27 kg ha-1 and 1.04 kg ha-1 of the ametryn + trifloxysulfuron-sodium in post-emergency were sufficient for dry mass and shoot number C. rotundus suppression.
