Grass and BLW management in lentil locations
Aims
  • Evaluation of pre-emergent herbicides for crop safety and weed efficacy in alkaline medium textured soils. 
  • Benefits from alternate usage patterns of metribuzin in new IMI and metribuzin dual-tolerant lentil technology- can we exclude IMI application and get same level of broadleaf weed control in lentil? 
  • Better understand yield comparisons of IMI tolerant lentil and metribuzin tolerant lentil varieties under different sets of weed management scenarios. 
Key messages
  • Pre-emergent herbicides strategies of Reflex® alone or in combination with diuron/Terbyne® in PBA Highland XT, and metribuzin in GIA Metro, did not result in any loss of plant numbers. 
  • Reflex® (IBS) f.b. metribuzin (POST) caused chlorosis and necrosis in GIA Metro, though the crop recovered from it and did not record a yield penalty. 
  • Reflex® (IBS) proved effective in controlling common sowthistle and Indian hedge mustard. Adding Group 5 herbicides applied PSPE, as well as Group 2 and 12 herbicides POST provided control of weeds surviving in the crop rows.
