Grass and Broadleaf Weed management in lentil locations
Aims

To study the efficacy of pre- and post-emergent herbicides for ryegrass, barley grass, Indian Hedge Mustard and common sowthistle control, and productivity of lentil  

Key messages
  • Reflex® did not cause in any lentil plant establishment reduction in alkaline silty loam soil. 
  • Combination of Reflex® with metribuzin caused stunting in lentil as compared to Reflex® with diuron or Terbyne® in alkaline silty loam soil. The above average late winter-spring rainfall (158 mm from AugustOctober 2022) might have allowed better recovery from herbicide damage symptoms due to good moisture availability and longer recovery time. 
  • Combination of pre-emergent Reflex® (IBS) with post-sowing pre-emergent application of Group 5 metribuzin and diuron proved more effective for common sowthistle and Indian Hedge than herbicide strategies of relying on single broadleaf weed herbicide Reflex® alone. 
  • Propyzamide and Ultro® provided effective control of both ryegrass and barley grass.
