Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Higher-rate metsulfuron-methyl (36 g a.i. ha) increased pre-emergent control of parthenium weed compared with current practice rates (4.2 g a.i. ha) on central Queensland roadsides.
- Intervention effect Atrazine, imazapic and tebuthiuron reduced parthenium weed emergence.
- Intervention effect Post-emergent activity varied among the herbicides tested, including imazapyr and glyphosate, against parthenium weed.
- Intervention effect Primary herbicide treatments selectively removed parthenium weed on roadsides.
- Intervention effect Primary herbicide treatments reduced height growth of roadside vegetation.
- Intervention effect Primary herbicide treatments retained perennial ground cover while removing parthenium weed.
