Whether herbicides used in transgenic, herbicide-resistant crops have negative effects on those crops has been controversial. Most all of the data on this topic has been on glyphosate-resistant (GR) soybean, with little information available on GR and glufosinate-resistant (GluR) maize. A GR plus GluR maize variety was evaluated in the greenhouse and the field for effects of glyphosate and glufosinate on growth, mineral content, and yield. Treatments were: 1) a herbicide-free control; 2) 980 g acid equivalent (a.e.) ha −1 glyphosate at 21 days after emergence (DAE); 3) 600 g active ingredient (a.i.) ha −1 glufosinate at 21 DAE; 4) sequential applications of glyphosate at 520 and 980 g a.e. ha −1 at 14 and 28 DAE, respectively; 5) sequential applications of glufosinate at 300 and 300 g a.i. ha −1 at 14 and 28 DAE, respectively; and 6) sequential application of glyphosate (980 g a.e. ha −1 ) and glufosinate (600 g a.i. ha −1 ) at 14 and 28 DAE, respectively. None of the herbicide treatments affected plant growth, yield, or content of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, Fe, Cu, or Zn in the greenhouse or field. In grain of field-grown plants, no glufosinate was found and glyphosate (0.12 ng g −1 ) was only found in the sequential glyphosate treatment.

-Weed control is commonly performed by the inter-row mechanical weeding associated to intrarow glyphosate directed spraying, causing a risk for drift or accidental herbicide application, that can affect the crop of interest. The objective was to evaluate the response of clones C219, GG100, I144, and I224 of eucalypt (Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla) to glyphosate doses of 0, 18, 36, 72, 180, 360, and 720 g of acid equivalent per hectare. The clones showed different growth patterns with regard to height, leaf number, stem dry weight, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate, and relative leaf growth rate. The clones I144 and GG100 were more susceptible to glyphosate, showing the doses required to reduce dry weight by 50% of 113.4 and 119.6 g acid equivalent per hectare, respectively. The clones C219 and I224 were less susceptible to glyphosate, showing the doses required to reduce dry weight by 50% of 237.5 and 313.5 g acid equivalent per hectare, respectively. Eucalyptus clones respond differently to glyphosate exposure, so that among I224, C219, GG100, and I144, the susceptibility to the herbicide is increasing.Keywords: Eucalyptus; N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine; Spray drift. de 0, 18, 36, 72, 180, 360 RESPOSTA DIFERENCIAL DE CLONES DE EUCALIPTO A GLYPHOSATE RESUMO -O controle de plantas daninhas é comumente feito com roçadas na entrelinha associada a aplicações dirigidas de glyphosate na linha de plantio de culturas arbóreas, acarretando risco de deriva ou aplicação acidental do herbicida, que pode afetar a cultura de interesse.

RESUMO -A adubação fosfatada pode influenciar a resposta das culturas tolerantes ao glyphosate em razão de a absorção ativa do herbicida ser mediada por carreadores de fosfato. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar características de crescimento de plantas de milho RR e soja RR quando submetidas à aplicação de glyphosate e de adubo fosfatado. O primeiro experimento foi realizado variando as doses de glyphosate (720 a 1.440 g e.a. ha -1 ) e de superfosfato triplo (54 a 162 kg ha -1 de P 2 O 5 ) adicional à adubação recomendada. O segundo experimento foi realizado variando as mesmas doses de glyphosate e com adubação fosfatada (162 kg ha -1 de P 2 O 5 ) ou não, mantendo-se a testemunha sem aplicação do herbicida e do adubo. Para ambas as culturas, altura e massa seca foram influenciadas pelos tratamentos, e o número de folhas não foi afetado. A resposta das plantas de milho e soja, quanto à altura e à massa seca, foi contrária com a aplicação de glyphosate e de superfosfato triplo; enquanto o crescimento das plantas de soja foi afetado negativamente, plantas de milho aumentaram seu crescimento quando expostas ao glyphosate em substrato com elevada adubação fosfatada (162 kg ha -1 de P 2 O 5 ).

-The objective was to determine whether a change occurs in the critical period of weed interference prevention in narrow row corn with the use of atrazine and whether there is influence of the herbicide on crop yield components. The treatments consisted of periods without or with an initial weed control (0, 21, 35, 49, 63, 77, and 91 days after emergence), with or without application of atrazine in spikely post-emergence. The experiment was carried out in a 2 x 7 randomized blocks design (with and without weed control and seven periods with three replications). The use or not of atrazine was arranged in a split plot design. The most important weed species were Senecio brasiliensis, Urochloa plantaginea, Conyza bonariensis, Sida rhombifolia, and Solanum spp. Corn yield reduced by 15% and 18% with and without application of atrazine, respectively. The number of grains per spike and corn yield were negatively influenced by coexistence with weeds, while the number of rows per spike, the diameter and length of spike were not affected. Corn yield components were not affected by the use of atrazine. The critical period of weed interference prevention was 35 days without atrazine and 23 days with application of atrazine. There is a reduction of the critical period of weed interference prevention on narrow row corn by using atrazine, with no influence of the herbicide on crop yield.Keywords: herbicide, period of coexistence, Zea mays. (0, 21, 35, 49, 63, 77 RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se ocorre alteração no período crítico de prevenção à interferência de plantas daninhas em milho adensado com o uso de atrazine e se há influência do herbicida sobre componentes de rendimento da cultura. Os tratamentos consistiram em períodos sem ou com controle inicial de plantas daninhas

-Glyphosate is commonly used for intra-row weed management in perennial plantations, where unintended crop exposure to this herbicide can cause growth reduction. The objective of this research was to analyze the initial plant growth behavior of young apple and pear plants exposed to glyphosate. Glyphosate was sprayed on 2-year-old 'Gala' apple and 'Abbè Fetel' pear plants at doses from 18 to 720 g per hectare of acid equivalent (a.e.). The plant height of neither species was not significantly reduced (less than 1%) by any glyphosate dose at 240 days after spraying, whereas the stem diameter and the dry mass of stem and leaves were reduced by 720 g a.e. ha -1 . The glyphosate dose required to reduce the aboveground dry mass by 50% was 162 and 148 g a.e. ha -1 for apple and pear, respectively. Aboveground dry mass was reduced 2% and 6% for apple and pear plants, respectively, at 720 g a.e. ha -1 . Hormesis was not observed in either species at doses down to 18 g a.e. ha -1 . Both species showed low susceptibility to glyphosate; however apple was less susceptible than pear. Keywords: N-phosphonomethyl-glycine, Malus domestica, Pyrus communis, spray drift. RESUMO -Glyphosate é comumente usado para manejo de plantas daninhas na linha de plantio de culturas perenes, onde a exposição não intencional da cultura a esse herbicida pode causar redução do crescimento. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o comportamento do crescimento inicial de
