Efficacy of several herbicides in controlling weeds in wheat

Abstract

Field trials were carried out in winter wheat at Jabuka site (Southern Banat) in 2001, 2002 and 2003 to evaluate the efficacy of several active ingredients and their combinations, namely: amidosulfuron + iodosulfuron (Secator), tribenuron-methyl (Granstar 75 WG), triasulfuron + dicamba (Lintur), 2,4-D + florasulani (Mustang), 2,4-D EHE (Lentermil D), bentazone + dicamba (Cambio), fluroxypyr (Starane250), tritosulftiron (Certo) and tritosulfuron + dicamba (Arrat). Trials were set up in wheat crop (cv. Evropa 90), applying OEPP/EPPO methods (1998). A random block design with four replicates and plot size 25 m(2) was applied. The herbicides were applied at the end of tillering and efficacy was estimated three and six weeks after application. The acquired results show that the tested herbicides can be successfully applied to control weeds in wheat in the area of Southern Banat.
