Abstract
In 1996 the bean industry was worth $42.6 million to the Australian economy. Amaranthus powellii S. Wats. is considered the weed of most threat to the Tasmanian green bean industry. At commencement of this project, registered herbicides did not provide satisfactory control of this and some other weeds which are common in bean production areas across Australia. This work was conducted as part of a four year Horticultural Research and Development Corporation (HRDC) project. A total of 34 trials were conducted in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, in both green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and navy beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from 1995 to 1999. Products extensively evaluated in this project included dimethenamid, sulfentrazone, aciflourfen, diflufenican and clomazone. These products have activity on A. powellii. and a wide range of other weeds commonly occurring in bean crops. National registration for clomazone, as Command 480 EC, in green beans and navy beans is expected later this year. Clomazone is active on weeds such as Polygonum aviculare L., Chenopodium album L. and some grass weeds, with useful suppression of A. powellii. Data has been collected to allow registration of dimethenamid, which is particularly active on A. powellii. and some grass weeds. Clomazone and dimethenamid are compatible as a tank mix, providing control of a broad spectrum of grass and broadleaf weeds.
