Herbicide alternative for Conyza sumatrensis control in pre-planting in no-till soybeans

Abstract

Abstract Background In the last two decades, herbicide-resistant biotypes of Conyza bonariensis, Conyza canadensis, and Conyza sumatrensis were identified. Objective: To evaluate herbicide alternatives for the control of C. sumatrensis to replace simplified management at soybean pre-sowing in the no-till system and assess the potential herbicide injury to soybeans. Methods Four experiments were conducted in Palotina, PR, to evaluate alternative managements to the herbicides commonly used in C. sumatrensis , such as synthetic auxins, pre-emergent, and burndown herbicides. All consisted [...]
