Alternative Tank Mix Adjuvant for Glufosinate

Particle drift potential of mesotrione and rimsulfuron plus thifensulfuron-methyl tank mixture in a low-speed wind tunnel

“…However, no previous research tested the herbicide mixture of mesotrione and rimsulfuron plus thifensulfuron-methyl on selected crops, while those herbicides can be used as alternatives for controlling glyphosate-resistant weeds (Brankov et al 2023). Using alternative herbicides to glyphosate and dicamba is needed for successful weed control (Costa et al 2019), while the literature reported no results on the drift of those herbicide mixtures to nearby crops. Restriction for dicamba applications in the USA influenced those herbicide applications only possible with nozzles producing coarse and ultra-coarse droplet spectrum for avoiding an off-target movement (Alves et al 2017), directly lowering any potential for damage on susceptible crops, while our core idea was to test in those nozzles could result in other alternative herbicides, especially tank-mixed.…”
