Efficiency and deposition of herbicides in onion in function of adjuvant and carrier volume

Abstract

The objective, of this work, was evaluated the effect of carrier volume and use of activator adjuvant on the weed control and deposition of herbicide treatment with ioxynil + clethodim in onion plants. The experiment consisted by six treatments and five replications, organized in factorial scheme 2 x 3, that is a combination of two levels of adjuvant (with an without) with three application rates (100, 150 e 200 L ha-1). The treatments were applicate in post-emergence, after the onion rooted in and the weeds were four to six leaves stage. The treatments not promote intoxication in onion crop. There are the tendency to improve Cyclospermum leptophyllum and Polygonum persicaria control with adjuvant use, however without significate effect. The control level and deposition were not affect for application rate evaluated. Concluded that reduced application rate no compromised the efficiency and deposition of ioxynil + clethodim herbicides.
