Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

SUMMARY Stomp controlled the widest range of weeds with a wide margin of crop tolerance. Recommend. 3 l/ha or lower before transplanting. Bensulide controlled grasses well, but did not control nightshade. Recommend 12 l/ha after transplanting. Lasso controlled a wide range of weeds, but the margin of selectivity is narrow. Recommended maximum 4 l/ha. Surflan controlled all weeds well, except nightshade, when applied after transplanting. The margin of selectivity is narrow on tomato and zero for nightshade. Recommend 1.5 1 after transplanting. Trifluralin controlled 3 weeds, and the margin of selectivity is narrow. Recommend rate of 4 l/ha. Trials - …
