Abstract

Field studies were conducted over 2 yr and two locations per year in soft red winter wheat to determine the efficacy of thifensulfuron and thifensulfuron plus DPX-L5300 (2:1 ratio) on all wild garlic reproductive bulbs. The herbicide formulations controlled wild garlic equally. Aerial bulblet control was excellent (>90%) with either herbicide regardless of application timing (March 21, April 8, and April 29) and significantly better than the standard treatment of the butoxyethanol ester of 2,4-D. Control of developing underground offset bulbs was less complete compared to aerial bulblets, and was found to depend on application time. Offset bulbs were controlled better when herbicides were applied in late March or early April compared to the April 29 treatment date. The rate response (9 to 70 g ha-1) was positive for the control offset bulb production at the two earlier dates but not at April 29. These herbicides also adversely affected the germination and viability of the bulbs that were produced.
