Other claims from this paper (19)
- Intervention effect Tribenuron 15 g/ha was effective against Chenopodium album under field conditions, giving 85-88% control.
- Intervention effect Raising tribenuron from 15 to 30 or 45 g/ha further increased control of C. album; the effect was similar at the higher rates.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D ester/amine 500 g/ha or sodium salt 1000 g/ha gave 100% control of C. album.
- Intervention effect Tribenuron up to 45 g/ha had no adverse effect on wheat.
- Observation No residual phytotoxicity was seen on mungbean or sorghum sown after wheat harvest.
- Intervention effect Carfentrazone 20 g/ha and tribenuron 15 g/ha were similar against C. album but lower than the other treatments.
- Intervention effect All broadleaf herbicides gave significantly higher wheat yield than weedy plots.
- Intervention effect All broadleaf herbicides gave lower yield than pre- or tank-mix applications of grassy and broadleaf herbicides.
- Intervention effect Atlantis 21.6 g/ha was phytotoxic to wheat and significantly checked plant growth.
- Intervention effect Atlantis 21.6 g/ha produced lower wheat yield than 14.4 g/ha.
- Intervention effect Tank mixes of pinoxaden 45 g/ha and clodinafop 60 g/ha with tribenuron 15 g/ha gave the highest wheat yield and yield attributes, similar to recommended field herbicides.
- Intervention effect In pot studies, tribenuron 15 g/ha gave 73 to 100% control of ten broadleaf weeds, including A. arvensis and A. tenuifolius.
- Intervention effect Tribenuron 15 g/ha was not effective against M. parviflora and L. aphaca in pot studies.
- Intervention effect Tank mixes of tribenuron with carfentrazone/2,4-D or metsulfuron improved M. indica control by 15 to 25%, although tribenuron alone was lower on M. indica.
- Intervention effect Overall weed mortality by tribenuron was similar to carfentrazone, better than 2,4-D 250 g/ha, and significantly less than metsulfuron or 2,4-D 500 g/ha.
- Intervention effect Tank mixing carfentrazone with metsulfuron gave the maximum weed mortality; only carfentrazone plus 2,4-D 250 g/ha was significantly lower.
- Intervention effect Tribenuron 15 g/ha had no significant edge over metsulfuron 4 g/ha against any test species in the screen house.
- Observation Weed fresh weight accumulation followed a similar trend across treatments.
- Observation L. aphaca and M. parviflora were the most difficult-to-control weeds, whereas S. conoidea and S. irio were the most susceptible.
