Abstract

Cucumber [Cucumis sativus L. ‘Calypso′] susceptibility to the ethyl ester of quizalofop {2-[4-[(6-chloro-2-quinoxyalinyl)oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} was investigated under field and greenhouse conditions. Cucumber yield was significantly reduced under field conditions with a single or repeated application of quizalofop at 0.14 or 0.28 kg ai/ha. Under greenhouse conditions, quizalofop significantly suppressed cucumber plant fresh weight with or without the presence of an adjuvant. Enhancement of herbicide activity was related to the concentration of adjuvant. At a higher rate of quizalofop, addition of the lower concentration of an adjuvant increased the herbicidal effect (growth suppression and visually estimated phytotoxicity). At a lower concentration, increasing adjuvant concentration enhanced visually estimated phytotoxicity.
