Glufosinate adjuvants and water volume_Kioma locations
Aims

To determine the effects of adjuvants with Biffo (Glufosinate) on control of small feathertop feathertop Rhodes grass seedlings.

Key messages
  • An assessment of % burndown was made 13 days after application of treatments. All treatments were rated as giving between 83 and 90% burndown. There was no significant difference between treatments.
  • At 32 days after treatment no surviving feathertop Rhodes grass plants were found in any plot.
  • Low numbers of caustic weed and nightshade plants were found but again there were no statistical differences between treatments.
  • Weeds in this trial were too small and treatments too effective. No meaningful results were obtained. Sub label rates might need to be used in future trial work.
