Abstract

Field studies were conducted to determine the response of sublethal glyphosate and dicamba doses to processing tomato flowering loss and marketable yield. Dose–response studies for both herbicides were conducted on four commercial processing tomato lines (two different lines within each study) and plants were sprayed at either the vegetative stage or the early bloom stage. Both glyphosate and dicamba caused higher yield losses when sprayed at the early bloom stage. A 25% yield loss was observed with 8.5 and 7.5 g ae ha−1 for glyphosate and dicamba, respectively, at the early bloom stage and 43.9 and 11.9 g ae ha−1 for glyphosate and dicamba, respectively, at the early vegetative stage. Overall, these tomato cultivars were more sensitive to dicamba than to glyphosate. We conclude that glyphosate and dicamba drift could have serious implications on tomato yields especially if the drift occurs during flowering.

Se realizaron estudios de campo para determinar la respuesta de dosis sub-letales de glifosato y dicamba para evaluar la pérdida de flores en tomate y su rendimiento comercial. Estudios de respuesta a dosis para ambos herbicidas se realizaron en cuatro líneas de procesamiento comercial de tomate (dos diferentes líneas para cada estudio) en plantas asperjadas ya sea en estado vegetativo o en la etapa temprana de floración. Tanto glifosato como dicamba causaron mayores pérdidas en el rendimiento cuando se asperjaron en la etapa temprana de floración. Un 25% de la pérdida en el rendimiento se observó con 8.5 y 7.5 g ea ha−1 de glifosato y dicamba, respectivamente, en la etapa temprana de floración y 43.9 y 11.9 g ea ha−1 de glifosato y dicamba, respectivamente, en la etapa vegetativa temprana. En general, estos cultivares de tomate fueron más sensibles al dicamba que al glifosato. Concluimos que el acarreo aéreo de glifosato y dicamba, podría tener serias implicaciones en el rendimiento del tomate, especialmente si este acarreo ocurre durante la floración.
