Abstract

Glyphosate plus flumioxazin tank mixtures have become popular in the nursery production and landscape maintenance industries in the southeastern United States. Research was conducted to compare the efficacy of such a mixture relative to the components applied alone. Glyphosate, flumioxazin, and glyphosate plus flumioxazin (2 : 1, w/w) were applied POST in container trials to four weed species at a series of rates that ranged from no effect to death. Regression analyses revealed that control data from all three treatment series could be described by the four-parameter, log-logistic model. With respect to glyphosate and flumioxazin applied alone, analysis revealed that across all four species, a lower rate of flumioxazin was required for 90% control than of glyphosate. The rate of the mixture required for 90% control was generally intermediate to the components applied alone and ranged from 0.36 kg ha−1 for hairy bittercress to 1.52 kg ha−1 for eclipta. Glyphosate alone was more cost effective than either flumioxazin alone or the mixture for the POST-applied control of all four species. The popularity of the tank mixture might be the result of flumioxazin-based PRE activity that was not measured in this study.

Se han popularizado las mezclas de glifosato más flumioxazin en las industrias de producción en invernadero y de mantenimiento de jardines en el sudeste de los Estados Unidos. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo comparar la eficacia de una mezcla de este tipo relativa a los componentes aplicados individualmente. El glifosato, flumioxazin y glifosato más flumioxazin (2 : 1, w/w) fueron post aplicados en maceteros a cuatro especies de malezas a una serie de dosis que oscilaron entre ningún efecto hasta la muerte total. Los análisis de regresión revelaron que la información de control de las tres series de tratamientos podría describirse mediante el modelo log-logístico de 4 parámetros. Con respecto al glifosato y flumioxazin aplicados individualmente, el análisis reveló que para las cuatro especies se requirió una dosis más baja de flumioxazin para obtener un control del 90% en comparación con el glifosato. La dosis de la mezcla requerida para el 90% de control, fue generalmente intermedia a los componentes aplicados individualmente y osciló de 0.36 kg ha−1 para Cardamine hirsuta L. CARHI a 1.52 kg ha−1 para Eclipta prostrata L. ECLAL. El glifosato sin mezclar, fue más efectivo en cuanto a costos que el flumioxazin aplicado individualmente o la mezcla de glifosato-flumioxazin en el control post-aplicado para las cuatro especies. La popularidad de la mezcla puede ser el resultado de la actividad pre del flumioxazin, que no fue medida en este estudio.
