Efficiency of glyphosate and ammonium glufosinate against common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) in vineyards

Abstract

The use of glyphosate (720-2880 g/h a.i.) and ammonium glufosinate herbicides (375-1500 g/h a.i.) to control of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) has been studied in trials (2013-2018) in the vineyards of Rkatsiteli, Liang and Cabernet Sauvignon in Abinsk district of Krasnodar region. Accounting of weeds was done by a quantitative method with counting the number of each weed species in each plot. Counts were performed before the treatment and in 15, 30 and 45 days after spraying. The effi cacy of herbicide was determined in relation to the untreated control and expressed as a percentage. The main evaluation criterion was the eff ectiveness of 100 % in one of the accounts or the average (for all counts) effi ciency of more than 90 %. The results showed that in 95 % of trials spraying of 1440 g/h of glyphosate 1440 g/h of glyphosate (a.i.) and higher ensured processing effi ciency exceeding 90 %. Herbicides such as Roundup, containing 360 g/l of isopropylamine salt, can be recommended for use to control of common ragweed in the application rate 4.0 l/ha. Destruction of all common ragweed observed when using not less than 600 g/h glufosinate ammonium. Thus, Herbicides such as Basta, containing 150 g/l of ammonium glufosinate, to control of common ragweed should be applied by fractional application vegetative weeds (2.5 l/h + 1.5 l/h).

Directions for improvement of the herbicide assortment in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century

“…It was produced by the company "Monsanto" in the form of gel. Its distribution and application using a special applicator device improved convenience for the end user (Golubev et al, 2018a).…”

FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF BIOLOGICAL AND BIORATIONAL HERBICIDES IN RUSSIA (review)

“…Анализ ниш, потенциально привлекательных для внедрения биопрепаратов в производство сельскохозяйственной продукции, был бы неполным без упоминания о садах и виноградниках. Для борьбы с сорными растениями здесь разрешены только общеистребительные препараты на основе двух действующих веществ -глифосата (в виде солей) и глюфосината аммония (89). В настоящее время использование препаратов на основе глифосата в нашей стране существенно ограничено и ниша оперативных средств борьбы с сорняками в садах и виноградниках вакантна (48).…”
