Comparing tank mixes of herbicides for post-emergence control of common sowthistle (NSW pot experiment 2015) locations
Aims

To determine whether a range of herbicides by themselves or in a tank mix with paraquat are a viable option for the control of established common sowthistle plants. 

Key messages
  • All of the herbicides examined appear to work well when tank mixed with paraquat to control early flowering common sowthistle.
  • However, paraquat alone also provided excellent control of early flowering common sowthistle which questions the value of tank mixes with other herbicides.
