A very limited amount of information is available in relation both to the residual effect of herbicides destinated to the destruction of cotton stalks and to the time interval required to prevent that development and yield of the following crop be affected. This work aimed to identify the residual activity of herbicides intended to eliminate cotton...

Herbicide resistance in Amaranthus genus occurs frequently around the word and has become a big problem in cotton producing areas. The objective of this work was to evaluate cross-and multiple-resistance of redroot pigweed (A. retroflexus) to herbicides used in preemergence in cotton fields in Brazil. Seven dose-response experiments were conducted...

As aplicações de herbicidas em pré-emergência têm por finalidade a obtenção da atividade residual no início do ciclo das culturas e a supressão de novos fluxos de plantas daninhas. Contudo, esse efeito pode prejudicar culturas subsequentes, dependendo da variedade utilizada e da persistência do herbicida no solo. Em virtude disso, o presente trabal...

Due to the limited number of herbicides registered for the control of dicot weeds in cotton crops, ALS inhibitors have been used on an intensive and recurrent basis. Given that, cases of poor weed control have been described after application of these herbicides in the main cotton producing areas in Brazil, the purpose of the present work was to ev...

Full-text available
When in competition with cotton, Amaranthus retroflexus can cause high yield losses. Due to the limited availability of selective herbicides registered for post emergence control of this weed, the same herbicides have been used repeated times over the last few years, which may have selected resistant biotypes. Biotypes of A. retroflexus collected f...

Full-text available
Weed resistance to herbicides has been a major issue in Brazil, mainly due to the inefficiency of the herbicides used in no-till areas and to the high cost of these herbicide treatments. Failures in controlling the weed Conyza have been reported in Western and Northern grain crop areas in Paraná (Brazil). This work aimed to evaluate the potential o...

A resistência de plantas daninhas aos herbicidas tem causado grandes problemas, principalmente em relação à ineficácia dos tratamentos herbicidas utilizados em plantio direto e ao aumento do custo desses tratamentos. Falhas de controle após a aplicação de herbicidas em áreas com buva têm sido observadas nas regiões norte e oeste do Estado do Paraná...

Full-text available
Recent reports of weed-control failures after the use of glyphosate led to suspicion about the selection of resistant biotypes of Conyza at locations in west and north Paraná, Brazil. Plants were collected, identified as Conyza sumatrensis and subsequently evaluated for possible resistance to glyphosate in four stages of weed development. The exper...

Weed control is generally accomplished by the use of herbicides. However, this practice is limited in sunflower cultivation,since only two products are registered for the culture (alachlor and trifluralin).The use of new technologies can facilitate weed control with herbicides with broad spectrum control. Therefore, the objective of this study was...

The vegetation that remains in the soil after harvest benefits the physical and chemical properties of soil. However, the straw becomes a barrier to the application of pre-emergence herbicides, preventing it from reaching the target. In these cases, the choice of spray tip and droplet size is essential for successful aplication. Thus, the objective...

Pre-emergence herbicide applications are designed to obtain residual activity at the beginning of the crop cycle. The objective of this study was to evaluate the residual activity of diuron, oxyfluorfen, and prometryne, applied alone or in mixture, to control Euphorbia heterophylla. Eight experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions, by a...

The occurrence of dicotyledonous weeds has limited the increase of the area of sunflower cultivation in Brazil, due to their impact on crop yield. This is a result of a shortage of products registered for the crop with broad-spectrum control. Thus, two experiments were installed to evaluate the efficacy and selectivity of the imidazolinone herbicid...

Some species of Amaranthus are widely distributed in cotton crops. In recent years, ineffective weed control after herbicide use of some species has been reported. The current study was installed in order to find effective alternatives to a proper management of these species. Two simultaneous experiments were carried out for each species in this st...

Raw sugarcane harvest promotes an increase in crop residues of mulch on the soil. This new component changes the dynamics of weed infestation, also acting as a physical and chemical barrier against the action of herbicides. To improve the quality of herbicide deposition on the soil, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of spray nozzles and t...

Resumo A utilização indiscriminada do glyphosate tem aumentado a pressão de seleção em várias espécies de plantas daninhas, entre elas a Conyza sp (buva), selecionando assim, biótipos resistentes ou mais tolerantes à este herbicida, tornando cada vez mais difícil seu controle. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia de alterna...
