To evaluate mixtures of glufosinate with Group 14 herbicides for the knockdown control of common sowthistle in fallow
Common sowthistle is one of the most common problem weeds in the northern cropping region. It is particularly difficult to manage in fallow due to increasing levels of glyphosate tolerance together with a capability to emerge in all seasons. In recent years, a number of new Group 14 (G) herbicides have been registered for improved speed of weed burndown/brownout and control when mixed with glyphosate or paraquat.
This project was designed to evaluate the impact of mixtures of glufosinate (Biffo formulation) with Group 14 (G) herbicides when used as a single or 1st knock application.
