Abstract

Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of selected adjuvants on glyphosate efficacy on yellow nutsedge and tuber production. Glyphosate was applied at 0, 0.25, 0.43, 0.87, 1.26 (1× rate), and 1.74 kg ae ha−1 at 31 d after yellow nutsedge was planted. Each rate was mixed with one of the following adjuvants: ammonium sulfate (AMS), AMS plus nonionic surfactant (NIS), or AMS plus an experimental adjuvant (W-7995) plus NIS. Plants were evaluated for injury and for the number and size of tubers produced. Dose–response curves based on log-logistic models were used to determine the effective glyphosate rate plus adjuvant that provided both 90% effective dose (ED90) for yellow nutsedge injury and reduced tuber production. Addition of NIS to glyphosate plus AMS resulted in the greatest yellow nutsedge injury at 28 d after treatment (DAT). Addition of the experimental adjuvant plus NIS resulted in injury similar to NIS alone. The ED90 for injury at 28 DAT was 2.12 kg ha−1 with glyphosate plus AMS and NIS compared with 2.18 kg ha−1 for W-7995 plus NIS and 3.06 kg ha−1 with AMS alone. The ED90 rates with different adjuvants represent 168%, 173%, and 243% of the highest glyphosate rate (1.26 kg ha−1) labeled for application on many glyphosate-resistant crops. However, the estimated ED90 to reduce small, medium, large, and total tubers were 1.60, 1.50, 1.63, and 1.66 kg ha−1, respectively. Increases in labeled rates of glyphosate may be required to reduce yellow nutsedge tuber production in field conditions. Use of lower glyphosate rates should be discouraged because it may increase tuber production and exacerbate yellow nutsedge expansion in infested fields.

Se realizaron estudios de invernadero para evaluar la influencia de adyuvantes seleccionados en la eficacia de glifosato en el control de Cyperus esculentus y la producción de tubérculos. El glifosato se aplicó a 0, 0.25, 0.43, 0.87, 1.26 (1× dosis) y 1.74 kg ea ha−1 a los 31 días después de sembrar el C. esculentus. Cada dosis se mezcló con uno de los siguientes adyuvantes: sulfato de amonio (AMS); o AMS más un surfactante no iónico (NIS); o AMS más un adyuvante experimental (W-7995) más NIS. Las plantas se evaluaron por el daño causado en ellas y el número y tamaño de los tubérculos producidos. Se usaron curvas de dosis-respuesta basadas en modelos log-logísticos para determinar la dosis efectiva de glifosato más el adyuvante, que proporcionara 90% de daño a C. esculentus (ED90) y una producción menor de tubérculos. La adición de NIS al glifosato más AMS originó el mayor daño a C. esculentus a los 28 días después de la aplicación (DDA). La adición del adyuvante experimental más NIS resultó en un daño similar a la aplicación de NIS por sí solo. El daño ED90 a los 28 DDA fue 2.12 kg ha−1 con glifosato más AMS y NIS, comparado a 2.18 kg ha−1 para W-7995 más NIS y 3.06 kg ha−1 con AMS solo. Las dosis ED90 con diferentes adyuvantes representan 168, 173 y 243% de la dosis más alta de glifosato (1.26 kg ha−1) recomendada para su aplicación en muchos cultivos resistentes a glifosato. Sin embargo, la dosis estimada ED90 para reducir pequeños, medianos, grandes y el total de tubérculos fue 1.60, 1.50, 1.63 y 1.66 kg ha−1, respectivamente. Incrementos en las dosis recomendadas de glifosato podrían ser necesarios para reducir la producción de tubérculos de C. esculentus en condiciones de campo. No debería recomendarse el uso de dosis más bajas de glifosato porque esto podría incrementar la producción de tubérculos y exacerbar la expansión de C. esculentus en campos infestados.
