Objective : The objective of this review is to present the history of herbicide use and discuss the main changes in weed management in SA. Methods : Herbicide use quantities were obtained from official institutions and commercial organizations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Data were summarized per active ingredient, herbicide mode of action or crop. The evolution of the cultivated area of the main crops in each country, and the crop and weed management associated to it were considered to discuss the importance and the consequences of the main herbicides used. Results : In 2019 the most used herbicides in Brazil were glyphosate, 2,4-D, atrazine, paraquat and diuron representing 62, 15, 7, 5 and 2% of the total amount used. In Argentina, the increasing selection of herbicide resistant populations (4 cases/year), resulted in utilization of older chemistries. Weed control in Uruguay is traditionally benefited from crop/pasture rotations but recently is also facing problems of continuous cropping systems. Agriculture in Chile is more diverse, but similar patterns and problems of herbicide use are present. Conclusions : Intensification of agriculture, no-tillage, glyphosate resistant crops, and herbicide resistant weeds were the most important drivers of herbicide use changes in SA. Integrated weed management is unpostponable to provide sustainable increasing food production in SA.","PeriodicalId":29845,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Weed Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70675540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, as it has a broad spectrum of control and is highly effective, it is the main option for weed control in various agricultural production systems (Duke, Powles, 2008; Velini et al., 2009). However, recent studies have shown that low doses of this herbicide can act stimulating the growth of several plant species (Velini et al., 2008; Cedergreen, Olesen, 2010; Carvalho et al., 2013; Pereira et al., 2013; Carbonari et al., 2014; Nascentes et al., 2018), possibly due to changes in the shikimic acid pathway (Velini et al., 2008), which is responsible for approximately 20% of the carbon assimilated by plants (Haslam, 1993). Such biphasic dose-response effect, in which low doses cause a stimulatory effect, followed by high doses causing a toxic effect, is known as hormesis (Calabrese, Baldwin, 2002). Treating a crop with subdoses of a herbicide for a desirable phenotypic change can be valuable (Duke et al., 2006); for example, when glyphosate is applied in subdoses to stimulate the accumulation of sucrose and prevent flowering in sugar cane (Velini et al., 2009; Araldi, 2010). In a different way, it is also worth mentioning the work of Pereira et al. (2013), that when applying reduced doses (from 3.6 to 36.0 g a.e. ha-1) of glyphosate in eucalyptus seedlings, reported increases of up to 22% in the dry matter of the crop. Doses within this range were also responsible for the increase of up to 20% in the dry matter of non-resistant soybean, compared to the control (Velini et al., 2008). For forage species (Brachiaria brizantha), Nascentes et al. (2015) observed a growth 31.8% greater than plants without application, for the dose of 10.5 g a.e. ha-1. In spite of this, studies that aim to increase the vegetative mass of Panicum maximum for grazing, in response to a hormetic effect, are incipient in the literature. The guinea grass (P. maximum syn. Megathyrsus maximus) is considered an important grass in pasture areas in several regions of Brazil, being one of the first forage species introduced in the country (Souza, 1999). Thus, the knowledge of their physiological and morphological characteristics is essential for the establishment of adequate management (Rodrigues, Reis, 1995). Thus, the study of the hormetic effect caused by low doses of glyphosate can be a viable alternative for the management of this species, aiming to an increase in plant growth and consequently production of green mass. In addition to cultures varying in their responses due to the application of different glyphosate doses, as mentioned above, Belz and Duke (2014) pointed out Abstract: Background: Recent studies have demonstrated an increase in plant growth due to the application of low doses of glyphosate, which is part of the phenomenon known as hormesis.

Abstract: Background: Red bean ( Phaseolus calcaratus L.) is cultivated as an economic crop in the Mazandaran Province, Iran. Velvetleaf ( Abutilon theophrasti Medik.) competes severely with red bean growth and reduces yield. Imazethapyr is a selective herbicide recommended for management of grasses and dicotyledonous weeds in different crops including beans. Objectives : This research was conducted to develop an empirical model of red bean yield that incorporates the dose-responses of imazethapyr and velvetleaf densities. Methods : Modeling of imazethapyr herbicide dose on red bean and velvetleaf competition was conducted using four levels of velvetleaf densities and five dosages of imazethapyr arranged in a factorial design. Results : Velvetleaf competitiveness decreased with the increasing imazethapyr dose represented by the standard dose-response curve. A model was improved to composing the dose-response standard curve with the rectangular hyperbola equation. This model estimated red bean economic yield under velvetleaf-free conditions, weed competitivity with no-herbicide application, and the imazethapyr dosage needed to decrease velvetleaf competitiveness about 50%. Imazethapyr at the 0.66 L ha -1 dose was sufficient to control the highest density (12 plants m -2 ) of velvetleaf.

Highly competitive cultivars are a cultural method that can increase weed suppression and reduce the effects of crop-weed competition. Objective: The present study aimed to assess the competitive abilities of barley cultivars (crop) against black oat (weed) and their interference in crop physiology. Methods: A preliminary additive experiment was carried out with increasing densities of barley and black oat to determine the minimal density from where there was no drier mass increasing per area. In the second experiment, a replacement series experiment, five plant proportions (100:0; 75:25; 50:50; 25:75, and 0:100) of the crop were used and the competitor was installed. Fifty days after the emergence, morphophysiological and physiological variables, as well as their respective relative competitiveness indexes, relative clustering coefficient, and species aggressiveness, were all assessed. Results: The variables associated with the photosynthesis were dependent on the cultivar. BRS Cauê was the cultivar that performed better against black oat, with an increase in the overall photosynthetic rate, due to a smaller leaf area loss, as the competition increased. BRS Brau reduced the photosynthesis into smaller proportions for the competitor. The water use was not impacted to the same extent as photosynthesis. Conclusions: BRS Cauê was the most competitive cultivar, suffering the lowest impact of competition with black oat.","PeriodicalId":29845,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Weed Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70673658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, understanding the weed emergence and development is essential in decision making for management strategies. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different sowing depths and light intensities on the emergence and development of the weed species Euphorbia heterophylla and Desmodium tortuosum under field conditions. Methods: Each species consisted of an experiment carried out in a completely randomized design with four replications. Treatments were arranged in a 6 × 4 factorial scheme, with six sowing depths (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 12.0 cm) associated with four light intensities (100, 70, 50, and 30% of the solar light intensity) obtained with shading screens. Seedling emergence capacity was evaluated daily to obtain the percentage of emergence and the emergence rate index (ERI). Plant height, time to floral induction, plant dry matter during flowering were also evaluated. Results: Seedlings of E. heterophylla emerged under all solar radiation conditions and sowing up to 12.0 cm deep, while seedlings of D. tortuosum showed no emergence only at 12.0 cm deep with light intensities below 70%. The 100% solar radiation condition provided higher total and daily dry matter accumulation in E. heterophylla plants, while D. tortuosum plants showed higher values for both variables under 70 and 50% incidence of solar radiation.

Objective: To determine novel options for selective, post-emergence chemical weed control in this crop. Methods: Eight herbicide treatments were sprayed in the field onto black oat plants at the tillering stage to evaluate crop safety and control of Conyza spp. and Gamochaeta americana , two major weeds of Brazilian black oats. A separate trial was conducted to further assess herbicide safety in a controlled-environment setting, and mesotrione selectivity was then re-evaluated separately in the greenhouse during the following growing season. Crop phytotoxicity was determined using biomass production both in the field and in greenhouse trials. Results: Mesotrione, bentazon, 2,4-D, and a 2,4-D+bentazon tank-mix produced light symptoms of crop phytotoxicity, from which plants quickly recovered. Conyza spp. control was achieved via applications of mesotrione (192 g a.i. ha -1 ), metsulfuron-methyl (3.9 g a.i. ha -1 ), and a 2,4-D + bentazon tank-mix (502.5 g a.e. ha -1 + 720 g a.i. ha -1 , respectively), whereas proper G. americana control was only achieved via applications of either mesotrione or metsulfuron-methyl. Biomass accumulation by black oat plants in the greenhouse was similar across mesotrione-treated and untreated plants.
